The buyer takes the property subject to your lease.  The new owner would have to go through an eviction proceeding just like the landlord.  Hopefully you'll be able to work something out with the new owner and be able to stay.  Warning -- the old owner has the right to collect rents up until the deed is issued by the sheriff to the new owner.  So be careful to whom you pay rent.  you may not be paying the correct person.
