You are taking a risk. What if the foreclosure is resolved and the landlord remains in ownership of the property? Either way, the landlord is still the owner until said time as the property is foreclosed and a sale is held. The landlord can file an eviction action against you and have you evicted from the property. You better go to the hearing and make sure the final judgment is entered and ask the court to make a determination as to the payment of rents. In fact, you might want to speak with the judge's judicial assistant in advance and ask if you can be put on the calendar in order to have your questions heard.
