Read your agreement immediately. Get legal advice.
But
As a tenant in the property that has been sold (if there is a tenancy agreement) your tenancy has effectively been sold. They will as the landlord have to honour the agreement as they should have been made aware before they purchased. If there is no break clause they can not serve notice before the natural termination of the agreement.
All notices of termination have to be written, verbal counts for nothing, thats British law.
If there is no tenancy agreement, look for a new property or a lawyer. |

You are still covered by your tenancy agreement, look at it and see what notice you have to be given. It also has to be given in writing. |

In the USA if your lease were not up yet the house would have to be sold with YOUR lease in place until the expiration date. Or the sell would have to BUY you out of your lease.
Do not be pushed and see if that is the rights where you live in Scotland. If it is tell them to check the terms of your lease. |

the new landlord has to keep your tenancy on the same terms as before.
A lot of investment companies look for homes with sitting tenants and more or less keep the status quo |

Your tennancy agreement still stands, and this should contain the amount of notice that needs to be given by either tennant or landlord before you have to move out (normally longer than two weeks, should be in writing).
I would have thought if this was a sale the purchasers solicitor would have made sure a written notice to quit would have been served? Is it possible this has happned, but you havent' received it?
Its not a fantastic situation to be in I am afraid, and whilst people can helpfully tell you to squat - or that (as I mention) you may 'legally' be ok to stay for likely a further two weeks - this isn't very practical in the real world.
I think the writing is on the wall for your time in the property - I would certinaly get looking for somewhere else now.
If two weeks isn't practical to do this, which it probably isn't, have you tried speaking to the purchasors? Either directly, or through their estate agent / solicitor I would try and get an agreement with them. Tell them you've not had the notice, so are legally entitled to stay, but conceed obviously they want their house ASAP - and ask for time to find a new place. |

Someone above got it right, I just wanted to re-iterate. I was in the same position as you. You have the same rights as you had under the previous owner. The new owner assumes all legal obligations held by the previous owner.
In my case, the new owner was actually much more pleasant to deal with! |

well it depends on what the new owners plan on doing with the house. if they are planning to rent it out then you should be able to stay on as the tenant. if they are going to occupy the house then you will need to move. your moving date will also depend on how long their are in escrow it can range from 30 days to 90 days depending on the situation. but none the less your landlord should give you 90 days to vacate your house.
he does need to put it in writing and you can always go to your local renters insurance agent and they should also be able to help you with your situation. |

Usually you get a one month notice to evacuate in writing. That's not enough time. If it was me, I wouldn't go down without a fight. Ask a lawyer. I live in the United States and I know for sure that it's illegal here. |

what does you lease say, read it from top to bottom and that should answer your question. |

go and see your local CAB and make yourself aware of your rights. Study your tenancy agreement as there may be terms and conditions contained in it regarding the amount of notice required. Whilst this dispute is ongoing make arrangements to live elsewhere as once he gives the correct amount of notice in the correct manner you are sure to have to leave. Also make arrangements for securing your deposit hes treated you shabbily with the manner of asking you to leave and may be just as uncooperative when it comes to handing back your bond. A verbal notice of eviction is no notice at all. so I'd say you have some time yet. |

your landlords are to give you a 28 days notice of move out. as a landlord for 10 years i have not ran into this type of problem but i always keep in mind that what ever i choose to do with my property i would have to let tenants know 24 hr, 28 day notices. Good luck to you. |

Can't believe the sale went through without the question of a tenant being there being brought up! |

The Landlord had to give you a notice 3 months ago? This may happen to me too? |
