Unless the issue is a provision in the lease that allows the landlord to terminate the lease early if the property is sold, with the landlord exercising that option, there is really nothing that needs to be done -- the lease passes to the buyer along with the premises, so the tenant can remain in occupancy for the duration of the lease (while continuing to pay rent to the new landlord).
If there is an early termination provision in the lease and the landlord is trying to end the lease early, the tenant should consult a real estate lawyer for advice based upon the full facts, and after a review of the terms of the lease.
