Re: renters rights
Your landlord is being foreclosed upon. If you have vaild lease agreement, (not month to month) then you have a right to possess the property, until that changes. Banks have trouble selling property they foreclose upon. Contact the attorney listed on the notice you got and ask them where to start sending the rental payments. If you are not late, they may want to keep you in the house until they sell it. They may not be required to do so though.
Good Luck
