Can a landlord sue for future rent, even though the time they are sueing for is after the sale of a property. For example, can you be sued for 24 months future rent for breaking lease, when the property is knowingly being sold 3 months after you break the lease?

no but u lose the deposite.
If I understand correctly, and I am not a lawyer, people can sue for any reason. It is whether they can convince a court that they are right, and that you caused them harm, is the real question.
The facts on the judge to court and get the whole rent amount would still owe however its up to accept the judge to court and he can take to the facts on the selling partl.
They can try……they can only sue for the actual loss incurred. If the house went empty for 2 months….then they can seek 2 months damages.

If you leave before your lease is up they can make you pay until the end of the lease date or settle for some lease-breakage fee. You may be able to negotiate to pay until they find someone to take over your lease.
If they sell the property then you’d have to pay the new owners as of the date of the sale.
