No!
The new owner is responsible for your deposit, and you are responsible for the rent, just as before foreclosure.
The buyer, however, can evict you with a 30 day notice.

An addendum to what Mr. Bennett posted about the 30-day notice: a handful of cities have enacted laws that prevent foreclosure-based evictions. However, your city likely does not have such an ordinance.
