You have a lease? Not sure you have a case to stop paying rent, you will be in default with possible penalties.

If the building is sold, new owner may need to honor lease. On the other hand, I had a friend who sublet space, person he was subletting from stopped paying rent, he showed up for work one morning and the locks were changed, even though he was paying rent. He had to move immediately.

If it was me, I would probably contact the Bank to get the true story, and a Lawyer.

How long is your lease?
