Under 2010 federal law, if you rent a home that is pending a foreclosure sale and are current on your rent and have not otherwise breached the rental agreement, you cannot legally be evicted from the unit unless you are on a month-to-month lease.
After a foreclosure, you are entitled to remain in the rental up to the end of your lease. If the lease is a month-to-month lease, you must receive at least 90 days written notice that the new landlord wants you vacate the rental. The above opinion is premised upon the tenant being current in rent and no other breaches of the rental agreement.
