The sale of a house does not terminate a rental agreement, but the rental agreement is with the former owner and not with the new owner, unless otherwise agreed in the sale. The former owner of the house is liable to the tenants for damages, unless otherwise stipulated in the rental agreement.

I am not a lawyer.
