Breaking a Lease Owners want to sell during residential lease - partition

[justinjon714]

I'm in a long term rental with more than 2 years remaining. The owners are fighting with one-another and going to court to make each other sell the property in a partition action. Since I'm assuming the court case will be complete before my lease is up, what are my options? Can they force me out and if so, with how much notice?

No, you can't be forced out.
In situations like this, the new owner will often offer you cash to end your lease early.
Again, you can refuse.
Bottom line, the new owner buys you and your lease.
Your lease must be honored, and you are the only one who gets to decide if you want to take any offers.
Otherwise, you are there despite who ends up owning the property.

Whoever ends up owning the property will have to honor your lease.
