Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

I am looking at leasing a building from a landlord who knows that he is going to default on his loan in 2 years.

The lease he wants me to sign is only until the note is due.

I am reluctant to put a lot of money into the place knowing my lease would expire in 2 years.

Is there a way I can legally bind the bank from honoring my lease when the loan defaults?

Why would you even consider moving into a place that is going to be subject to foreclosure? Do you really think that the owner is goig to mainain the premises? Pay the taxes? etc. All I can say is your rent must be dirt cheap.

That being said, you cannot bind the bank.
