Do tenant leases survive the sale of a 2-4 unit property?

The buyer generally acquires the property subject to existing tenancy rights and should not assume immediate possession. Counsel must review each lease and apply RPL §226-c plus any Good Cause, rent-regulated, subsidized, or contractual rules before a non-renewal or possession plan is represented to a buyer.
