The landlord isn't actually breaching the lease, you just have a new landlord. Your lease is still vaild until the termination date, and the bank must honor it.

Was the house sold or foreclosed upon? If a house was sold it is sold subject to the lease agreement. If foreclosed then you still have rights under the law. The law changed a few years ago becuase of all the foreclosed properties and tenants who were left out in the cold. Please seek legal help. Good luck.
