More details to this question:
I am living in an illegal apartment with no lease. I know the landlord through a mutual party. Landlord has notified us the house is being sold but has not mentioned it's a short sale. I have heard that the landlord is being paid to leave by the bank. Should we also receive a payment to leave as well?

Regardless of the short sale you are not obligated to leave your home. Should any owner want you to vacate they must either negotiate a "buy out" with you or terminate your tenancy and commence a holdover proceeding against you.
