Please help me understand a termination clause in my lease.

Hello, I rent a room in MA in a building that's recently undergone new ownership.

Within my lease is the following clause: "Upon any agreement to sell the Property, or upon any change in ownership, the current Landlord, or future Landlord, may terminate this lease for any reason with thirty (30) days’ notice."

I'm currently on a set-term lease through next year, the landlord has said they would like to put me on their lease for a bump in rent and flexed this clause in the conversation as well saying they may want to execute it anyways for remodeling purposes. In the conversation we handled rent payments for my current lease and they accepted my rent for this month under my current lease's amount(sale was finalized last month). However it being put into question has me anxious, I'm not really in the position to be making moves right now and was assured previously that my lease would be ongoing until it was put into question. How long would they even have to enforce that clause in the first place? It doesn't give a window, only the events that it can be triggered with.

Thank you for your time and input.
