Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I have a year rental lease for a house I am renting from an individual. I started in May 2009, and extends for one year. I have paid my rent, etc. on time. I just recieved a letter in the mail from the mortgage company saying there is a motion for foreclosure against the owners. I am unsure what my position is at this point? Do they have to honor my lease through May 2010, who do I pay the rent to, can they remove me? In addition, I had paid the owner a security deposit, as well as the final monnths rent. I do want to stay in this place- please help. Thanks.

Your landlord may be able to cure the default before the foreclosure is finalized. You should speak with your landlord. As long as you still have possession, you should continue to pay your rent as required. A helpful resource on landlord-tenant law, security deposit, etc. can be found at http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html. Regards,
