Private Landlord -- No Rent Control

I learned on my own that my rental house is in foreclosure, asked landlord and the refused to answer. I'm holding the rent for April 2010 till they officially disclose it. Real Estate agent says sale date in June 7. I don't know where to pay the rent and who are real owner of the house. Landlord give me quit notice and submitted small claim notice that I didn't pay rent since January 1st, which is not true, they requested cash and I have been paying the rent till March. Landlord never give me quit notice before April because I paid the rent and now saying I didn't. They always makes phone calls on my cell phone and say "you guys are terrorist" and threatens me that she will change the locks. My family is totally disintegrated. SHould I go ahead pay the rent? but why to the landlord, bank owns the proprty and landlords are taking illegal rent and also not disclosing that property is in foreclosure. Please help me.
