You continue sending the rent to old landlord(till you know from them or otherwise authentically that the building has been sold) through money order and on refusal, send letter that they have refused to accept the rent sent through money order and to collect the rent from your premises in future.

I agree with the expert advise of Sh. Rajendra K Goyal, it is duty of vendee to inform the tenant regarding transfer of title of demised property.
However, if refused, deposit the rent in the Court.

If you are sure that the owners have changed due to transfer of property, you will have to go cautiously and collect adequate evidence in your favour, as the lessor ceases his right to collect rent after transfer of property. So if the property is really transferred, you would be liable to pay the rent only to the trnsferree of the property (new owners. However, so far as your security deposit is concerned, the old lessor (transferror) cannot be absolved of his liability towards you, unless you elect to treat the transferee (new owner) as the person liable to you or if the transferree himself agrees to bear with the liability.
So, start correspondence first with the old and new owners to ascertain the status of transfer of property before sending any legal notice to any party.
