Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Rental is in foreclosure
The apartment complex I am renting from is going into foreclosure. The property management is demanding that the tenants still pay rent. Is that legal? Can they still collect rent knowing the owner is losing his property?

You still owe the rent. The bank is probably entitled to recover the rents from the current owner, but until you receive notice to pay rent to them or their agent, you still owe it to the owner.

Of course. Whoever owns, or will own, the property is entitled to the rent. You don't pay, you get evicted.
