After the home is foreclosed upon where you are the tenants, the new owner under 2010 federal law is required to give you at least 90 days notice to move out if your lease is a month-to-month rental.
However, if the lease is longer than a month-to-month rental where there is time remaining on it, the new landlord is required to let you finish the term of your lease before ending it.
However, if you are on a month-to-month rental, the owner that is being foreclosed upon could end your lease legally before the foreclosure by way of a 30 day notice of termination.
