This can't be legal, surely?

Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML

Did you have a signed lease? If not, that’s partially on you

When you buy a building where tenants live, you have to keep the tenants and their leases as is. Then, you can deposit a demand to evict a tenant to live in his/her apartment, but it takes at least six months, several hundred dollars and a bunch of hoops to jump into. The new owners are idiots who believe that if you're a tenant, you don't have the money or wits to hire a lawyer, several of which work pro bono and loooove this kind of case.

Yeah I've seen a ton of listings that will include something like "Owner to assume tenant" to let the buyer know that it's currently rented out. Also, who buys a house site unseen if 'move in' day is the first time the new owners are there and OP is getting notification that the property was sold??
