You have to tell us what the facts of the case are. If you stopped paying rent, then you have no defense. If you have paid the rent he may not have a basis for a UD.

Mr. Shers is correct. Just by foreclosing the new landlord does not automatically get to evict you, but there are many mistakes a tenant can make when a property changes hands in foreclosure that would make the situation more complicated than that. You need to provide all the facts, and especially when you paid rent to whom, for us to begin to evaluate your situation.
