More details to this question:
I currently rent a house. My lease is not up until November 1, 2015. Last weekend, we found out the owner is selling on Saturday. The sign went in the yard and we were invaded by showings without a 24 hour written notice. On Monday, the house sold and now we are being forced out before the lease is up. They want us out by October 8 and they expect us to keep paying rent and get enough money to move. I have minor children. The rent is $1100 a month and I only make $1700 so with all the bills I would be homeless.

Any buyer buys subject to your interest unless your lease states otherwise or if you signed addendum or subordnation letter. A lease is an interest in real estate just like a deed. Exceptions exist like if it was a foreclosure.
