A: You may have a number of defenses to the case the new owner has commenced. It wouldn't be surprising if the new landlord hopes you are not well informed about those possible defenses and that you can be pushed out without providing as much compensation as previously discussed. If you are represented and can put up a strong defense, it wouldn't surprise me if the financial offer you were presented with increased to something more attractive to you.
