Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

My mother's landlords let her rental property go into foreclosure. She learned of it when she got the letter to vacate for the sheriff's sale. Now the exhusband is stating he will stop the foreclosure with a quit deed claim and she needs to vacate immediately and do a walk through so he can charge her for any damages. They have been very dishonest about the whole thing and I think he's trying to bully her for money. We need to know if she should pay them money on a house where a foreclosure judgement has already been made. My thought is it is no longer their property. Thanks in advance.

If it is in foreclosure, it may still be the landlord's property, but the foreclosure proceeding, if successful, will take it away. In the meantime, your mother should not give anything to the landlord but rather should check with who is foreclosing as to whom she should make her payments. The court proceedings should list the attorney who represents the foreclosing entity.
