Re: Landlord selling house
If the house is foreclosed, a buyer could evict you, if it chose to do so, unless you have a lease which is senior to the foreclosed obligation, which is unlikely, but possible if the loan is recent and you had a long term lease.
If the landlord successfully sells the house, however, your lease will remain in effect.
If there is a foreclosure, perhaps the new owner will be happy to keep you as its tenants under a new lease.
