New Apartment Owners

[Marcus Tanner]

I have a question that I need answered so I figured I would come to the forum to get a few answers. 

My sister called me yesterday because the owners of her apartment complex sold the property and she's wondering can the new owners evict her or do they have to comply with the rental lease that is already in place with the old owners. She is on a 1 year lease and has about 6 months left before her lease is up. She has already been pre approved for a new home and just waiting for her lease is up to move. No where in the lease does it state that the new owners can evict her upon the sell of the property. She has been paying her rent every month and isn't in violation of the lease. New Owners have threatened her with an eviction. Is this even legal???
