rent property sale

I live in Florida. I’ve been paying rent for over two years and I have an unstructured lease agreement. The lease basically states that I have been offered the property from x month and year to x month and year for x amount of money. I discovered that my landlord stopped paying rent when an inspector and locksmith came to change my locks. They said the bank sent them. I work from home so I stopped them from doing so. My condo is now listed as a short sale with a realtor and it is in the foreclosure process. The landlord stopped paying his mortgage back in January 09. Do I have to continue paying my rent as agreed?
