Whomever buys at the foreclosure sale would have to give at least 60 days notice and if your mother is paying market value rent the new owner might not try to get her out. She should find out what the monthly mortgage payments are and if close to the monthly rent [which I doubt] she might try to work out some type of purchase agreement. She should be concerned about making sure that the landlord puts her security deposit in a joint account requiring both to sign so that she gets that back after foreclosure.
