    Unfortunately, none.

    The foreclosing bank has no duty to you, and will, upon sale of the home, likely present you with a notice to stop paying rent and a 30 day notice to vacate. If you don't leave, they will file an order to evict.

    I have seen it suggested that tenants in this pickle move, then sue their former landlord for the cost of the move.

    I am in the same position as above and was served a notice tonight as Defendant "John Doe" the unknown tenant. Do I need to file an answer with the court? Once the foreclosure is complete and the home has new owners, will I get the luxury of a formal eviction process where I have time after the foreclosure to find a new residence? Also, what is the likelihood of recouping any moving costs by suing someone going through foreclosure?
