From the facts you've described, you do not have a legal obligation to pay new rent for June (since you've already paid it).

If the new owner tried to evict you, your defense would be that you had already paid June's rent and, in that suit, you could also cross-sue the first landlord for partial reimbursement.

It has been my pleasure to assist you today with your information needs. It is my goal that you are satisfied. No expert can promise you an answer that is favorable to your circumstances. But I will do my very best to explain the legal principles that are related to the facts you’ve described so that you can better understand the “why” of things.

What are your options now?
