Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I rent the house we are living in. The property was foreclosed on and I received a Final Judgment of Foreclosure. The landlord insists that I keep paying him the rent. I want to either pay it to the bank or pay it into an escrow account.

The landlord sayd he will evict me if I do not live up to the contract. In my opinion the bank is now the owner and I should negotiate with them.

Can the original owner still evict me, and should I therefore keep paying rent to him?

Without reading the judgment no one can answer. Pay the rent into court.

If he tries to evict you, you will receive a court summons. You can then ask the judge whether you should pay the landlord, the bank, or the court. Regards,
