I’m currently leasing an apartment in Philly. A new company just bought my building and now we owe payments to them.

Are we supposed to be given a new lease when this happens? No where in my current lease does it say, if someone buys our company that we’ll automatically have agreements transferred

Can anyone walk me through what happens on the other side? It tends to be very frustrating.
