This is a difficult situation but if the landlord is in foreclosure, the chances of getting anything from them is probably slim or none. Since your landlord has informed you that you would have to move, it seems obvioius that he/she will not be able to save the property from the foreclosure. You should try to make arrangements with the lendor (Plaintiff) to pay rent directly to them so that you can stay as long as possible in the residence.
