Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My wife and I rented a bottom floor from your landlord who subleased to us. She doesn't own the house. We found out a few months ago that its forecloser and is set for a short sale on july 15. We actually found a new place but our landlord has rented it out as soon as we leave on the 10th of july. I know its illegal and I don't want to the next ppl that get coned like we did cause if we knew back then we wouldn't have moved in.
