When a property is sold to a new owner, does the new owner have to honor existing rental/lease contracts?

Lease Agreement
I gave my landlord notice on the 3rd of July of my intent to vacate at the end of my lease July 31 this year. It doesn’t specify in my lease that I have to give 30 days notice unless I was under month-to-month status. She is trying to charge me rent for the month of August. Can she do this? Basically she’s saying because I didn’t give her 30 days notice of my intention to vacate that she can charge me for August? How is this possible when my lease is up on the 31st?!

Late Rent Payments
I have paid my rent on the 20th of every month for the last 2 years (including the late charge).The lease agreement says it has to be paid by the 5th of the month and everything after that is considered late. Doesn’t Maryland law require for a person to be reported late they have to be 30 days or more deliquent. Or does the lease agreement supercede the law?
Lease agreement – 3 day right of recission?
Lease agreement – 3 day right of recission?
On a Thursday – week #1, I gave a deposit to a landlord to hold an apartment. The following Friday, I signed lease agreement and first months rent with required deposits (dog, common area deposits, etc.). Within 2 hours, notified apartment agent that I wanted to cancel agreement and not rent for the 6 month period. Agent informs me that the 3 day recission rule a)applies only to the initial deposit to hold the property (week #1) and, b)once the lease is signed the 3 day rule does not apply and I must give him the required notice (30 days, which essentially is the first month rent. Subsequent to our discussion after informing them of my desire to cancel… I put a stop payment on the check which prevented the cash movement. Any thoughts on my right to access the 3 day recission rule or other? Thanks.

Buying a car without a title (receive title 2 weeks after)
I would like to know how best to legally protect myself. I am purchasing a car from a person who is currently leasing the vehicle with a buy-out option. The person intends to use my money to purchase the vehicle and then transfer the vehicle to me. The problem is that the title is with the dealership which has a lien on the car and I cannot get the title till after he purchases the vehicle from them. One consideration is a bill of sales contract- what must it say? Another option is to write a certified check payable only to the dealership- will this be enough to protect me or can I do more? Thanks.
