Yes, you can sue her. Assuming you had a valid lease agreement which did not give the landlord the option to back out if she sold the place, the landlord had no right to rescind it, and you've suffered damages (the extra storage and interest on the delayed repayment; you cannot recover for your inconvenience) due to her breach.
