Tenant Eviction Blocked by Failure to Notify of Property Sale

A property owner, having leased premises to a tenant for professional use, subsequently sold the property without informing the tenant of the sale, and the new owner terminated the lease, asserting the right to reclaim possession for personal use. The tenant contested the termination, arguing that the landlord failed in their obligation to notify them of the sale, a requirement under the relevant law for exercising the right of repossession. The court quashed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the failure of the seller to inform the tenant of the transfer of ownership, as stipulated by law, prevented the new owner from validly invoking the right to reclaim the premises for personal occupation against the existing leaseholder.
