A: A lot depends on what is stated in the lease about the amount of time for the landlord to give notice to the tenant to vacate. If you have a written lease that ends on 6/22/19, there may be no need to give any notice as that date will be the end of the lease term. The sale of the property has no effect on the end of the lease term.
