You are still required to pay rent if you are under a lease, regardless of the landlord being involved in a foreclosure action. If you want to move and they are willing to let you out of the lease, you can make arrangements with them to get a release from the lease so you can move. If you want to continue to live there, you are a tenant and you are entitled to keep living there. If she wants you out, she would have to file a formal eviction action with the court.
