You cannot be evicted without being given a legal notice by your landlord. Just because the owner is selling, it doesn’t mean that you have to move out of the property. Your tenancy agreement still remains in place and has to be terminated in the proper way.
If you have a current fixed term tenancy agreement you cannot be required to vacate before the end of the fixed term. If the property is sold while you are still living there, the new owner purchases the property subject to your tenancy and takes over the rights and responsibilities of your previous landlord. This means the existing terms and conditions of your agreement still apply (including the amount of rent that you pay, how and when you pay it, and the expiry date of the fixed term).
