Nothing they can do. If I were them I would keep an eye out to find another property to rent as the home might be sold at any moment necessitating a move.

I would call the mortgage company. The fact that they're cutting the grass would make me think that there's been a foreclosure and they already own it. I doubt that they'd spend money on maintenance otherwise.

So, they need to know who the owner is, as they might otherwise pay rent to the past landlord and he no longer has the right to accept it.

They might get an offer of 'cash for key's from the mortgage company, that would make the move a little easier

Agreed, start making plans to move. You could look for a NOD, which I believe they use there, to track any foreclosure process.
