    Yes, they can sell the property, but depending on local laws (ANY question on law needs to include your general locale as laws vary by area. ) they probably have to honor your lease. If you have an expired lease and are renting month to month then they still have to give you at least one month's notice. They are responsible for the return of your deposit.
