I received a notice looking for occupants at my rental unit. Upon calling the number on it, I learned that the property was foreclosed recently. My landlord said that I still owe rent because they only sold the “interest†and not the “said propertyâ€. My landlord is requesting rent. I have confirmed that the landlord is still listed as an owner on the deed. So it is in redemption period. I didn't renew my lease but have been paying since the first of January. I believe that in Michigan, this may constitute an unwritten (month-to-month) lease (?) Does anyone know if these still bind during a redemption period?

What is the best way to pursue a security deposit from a landlord that has had the property foreclosed but is not admitting that it has been foreclosed?
