Actually per RTA it's illegal to make ending a tenancy a condition of sale of the property.
Quote:
"Landlord's Use of Property
There are two ways a tenancy can be ended if, in good faith, the buyer plans to occupy the unit or use the property for another purpose:
1. The buyer submits a written request to the seller to end the tenancy before taking possession of the property (service of notice cannot be a condition of sale). Then the seller (or existing landlord) gives the tenant a Two Month Notice to End Tenancy for Landlord’s Use of Property
2. Once the buyer takes possession of the property, they can serve a Two Month Notice to End Tenancy for Landlord’s Use of Property
Unless a landlord (seller or buyer) serves a proper notice to end tenancy, the tenancy continues under the terms of the original tenancy agreement.

My next door neighbors had scenario #1. Previous owners had tenants downstairs, new owners asked previous owners to issue notice for owner's use of property, new owners had to allow existing tenants to live there for the two months after they took possession.
