If you are a tenant under a written agreement for a set term where there is time remaining under your lease but the property is being sold at a tax sale, the new owner would take ownership of the property subject to your lease for the balance of time remaining under it.
If your lease is a month-to-month lease, the new owner could take title to the property post the tax sale and then legally give you a written 30 day notice of termination of your lease.
Good question.
