No. The fact that his property is in foreclosure does not mean he can not rent. If the property finally does go into foreclosure, the lender will inform you as well being that you are a tenant.

No. The property still belongs to him, and he was able to deliver possession to you. The landlord still has an opportunity to cure the default and save the residence from foreclosure.
