Every letter I've ever received from the school board including the latest certified one announcing the sale and proration of rent refers to my lease. It would be hard for the school board to now claim there was no lease. I don't have Grey's experience but have never heard of a new owner being able to drop leases without notice in a commercial building purchase. It also seems very unlikely that the school board would have signed any contract selling the building free and clear without first reaching agreement about the disposition of each of our leases. Unless the school board has agreed otherwise in the sale contract, I believe the new owner is required to honor each lease including quiet enjoyment and termination according to New York law.
At the first meeting I asked the new owners to put in writing what they proposed so I could respond but haven't heard from them yet. If they want something other than the lease, I'll be happy to work with them but not at my expense and inconvenience.
I suggest we add the Mayor, City Council, BCSD counsel, and new owners to this email list. It is to our advantage to have these communications in the open, keeping in mind that this is about legal resolution rather than emotions or personal issues with the situation. If we agree then perhaps someone could provide those email addresses?
