How can a property manager collect rent on a home that's on foreclosure

we are currently renting a home the owner just passed away I believe in February in Germany The Home has not been paid for and no payments have been made to Citi mortgage we are being asked to continue paying rent even though the banks have been here two times wondering where the payments are for the mortgage the owner was given the deposit of $2000 and we have stopped paying the rent we are being told to pay it or we will be going to court but they refused to pay Citi mortgage we were advised by the property manager to keep paying rent and stay put fill the bank tells us to leave due to the foreclosure
