...break my lease when the sale of the apartment goes through or must I stay here until my lease from the old owner is up?
I live in Pennsylvania, if that makes a difference.

You may have to stay there, since you do have a lease. The lease usually transfers to the new owners. You could speak with the new owners and see if they will let you out of the lease. I have property and we are in the process of selling it and we have 7 tenants on our property and all of their leases are being transferred to the new owners.
As I stated check with your new landlord, maybe they will let you out of the lease.

depends on new owner if they even want to continue your lease. They may let you continue your lease till your lease is up and then not renew you. But if they agree to carry your lease from pervious owner then why try to break it. Just stay there and when your about 10 months there is you think they wont renew your lease then look for a new place. It depends on what kind of agreement was made when the new owner bought the place and what there plans are.

The landlord/ listing agent, with proper notice can show the home, they do not need your permission nor can you require they only show when you are home That said a few things: 1. Hold the agent to the 24 notice to show; majority of real estate agents try and show homes without 24 notice, they have a client comes in that day only have that day to see homes, so they try and see as many homes as possible, if the agent does not give proper notice you do not have to let them in 2. Start a log book, detailing the dates and times the agent request to show and the how much notice before hand 3. YOU do not have to leave the home when the home is being shown 4. You do not have to lock up your dogs in an area where they are not secured and could escape, the agent is on notice there are dogs in the home, if the agents chooses to enter the home with that knowledge they accept the risk and liability what they cannot do is force you to place the dogs in a kennel etc. or unsecure area 5. You do not have to keep the home in show room condition when the realtor wants to show the home I suggest you start reading up on your state laws for notice requirement to show homes, since states are different, for example certain states the agent may only show the home during normal business hours m-f 9 to 5, others allow showing anytime leaving it up to the lease, so you need to do some research on your state landlord /tenant laws

No, you cannot break your lease. The lease will survive the sale. The new owner will become your landlord. All terms of the lease will remain in full force and effect.

You would need to read you contract but most likely you will have to wait to the end of your lease as it will have been transfered tot he new owner......if you realy want out of it it may be worth a try talking to the new owners you never know

you have to read your lease thoroughly. if you cannot understand it, or if there is no clause pertaining to your question, i would call legal aid ASAP. you need to know your rights regarding this issue.
