Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

The landlord has no right to terminate a lease just because he wants to sell the property. If the buyer goes through with the sale, the buyer takes subject to the lease. The buyer has no right to occupy until the lease is up. The buyer has no recourse unless the seller does not disclose the property is leased and somehow manages to conceal that he does not live there (highly unlikely unless the tenant cooperates in the fraud, which tenant would have no reason to do since it could invalidate his lease). If the seller and/or the buyer tries to interfere with the tenancy before it is up, the tenant can sue one or both of them for interference with the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment that the law imposes on every lease. Short sale or break-even, or for profit doesn't matter. The law is the same for all sales, even foreclosures, except in foreclosures the tenant gets 90-days minimum, even on a month-to-month or even if the lease is up sooner, as long as the tenant continues to pay rent and comply with the lease.
