More details to this question:
My house was foreclosed on. The buyers agreed to sell the house to me for 45,000. After the contract was signed. So they got another lawyer to evict me. So they have one lawyer moving towards closing and another evicting me and asking for rent. Now they refuse to close with out the rent which went from 400 for January and February to 450 for 6 months to now they want 500 for 6 months. this seems so illegal to me. They are now evicting to bulling me into paying something we never agreed on.

Unless you have a contract, there is no obligation to sell to you. It is not your house, and you appear to have no right to be there. Thus, you can agree to their demands, or not.

You need an attorney to review your contract so as to determine your rights and obligations.
