Rent control - rights of access for new owner?

[uwslifer]

Hello,

I am a long-standing tenant in a rent-controlled apartment in a condominium building. I have recently learned that my apartment is going to be sold at foreclosure in the very near future, and thus I will soon have a new landlord (the old landlord has been in absentia for a number of years).

My question is, what access rights will a new owner have to enter the apartment upon securing the deed, for example to perform an inspection?

I guess this is a backwards way of asking whether I have to let them in at all, and under what circumstances. I am anticipating a more aggressive stance from the new owners than has been the case in past years, and would like to know where I can draw the line.
