Los Angeles Tenant: Building Sold...How To Play My Cards Right?

Good Evening--

I am a landlord back home on the east coast but I have been renting in LA for the past 2 years to get settled in a new area.

Long story short: Our building (quadplex) just sold 3 months after we moved in.  Over the past 3 months, the building and unit has been one maintenance issue after the next after the next and it was clear the landlord was selling.  Well it finally sold.

How do I play my cards right to come out on top?  Apparently, in LA, with a rent controlled apartment, which it is, they will have to pay us to move out so they can renovate?  Any insight into this?  I believe it's called the "Tenant Habitability Program" or something similar.  We don't have to move but if they want us to, we want to get paid.  Help us out!
