Answer:
Recording a lease can provide some protection for tenants when a building is sold. Generally, if you have a valid lease, the new owner must honor its terms until the lease expires. However, the specifics can depend on state laws and the lease agreement itself. If the contract of sale does not state that the new owner must honor the lease, it could lead to complications. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and options in this situation.
