If the bank now owns the house, they have the right to determine who gets to rent it or buy it in the future. I would suggest getting everything in writing with the bank, as contracts involving real estate have to be in writing in Ohio. If the former owners push too hard, get an attorney and tell the former owners to call the bank.
