If my landlord sells the house will I be forced to move?

My landlord is selling, do I have to move? I have about 6 months left on my lease and I've lived here for years. I don't know what the buyers plans are. If the buyer doesn't want renters, will I be forced to move?

I would read your lease and laws in you state regarding leases, though your lease should protect you from being forced out. Leases generally transfer with the purchase of a property. You will want to ask the old or new landlord on what they plan to do in the future to see if you will be needing to find a new place once the lease runs out.

Read your lease & communicate with your landlord. I just helped a couple buy a duplex and 1 tenant was in lease & one was not. The sellers communicated with us from the beginning and the lease conveyed to my buyers in closing and the other tenant chose to move before close.

Simple answer is yes. You should have until the end of your lease + 30 days.

Typically in Texas you are protected with your lease terms if there is a new owner. Be sure to read your lease in detail to see if there is any language on this matter.
