You are responsible for the past due rent. You should have discussed this with the original landlord at the time.
Sorry, nobody is going to pay the rent for you. Hopefully you didn't spend it on something else!

You should ALWAYS get your legal advice from YOUR lawyer, not a landlord.
That said, your LL probably had a beef with the purported purchaser.
You owed the rent to the new owner.
Your LL was incorrect.
That said, you still owe the rent, two months.
You pay her, or face eviction, unless she wants to let you live rent free for two more months.
