More details to this question:
My landlord stopped making house payments to the bank for past 8 months. A week ago I was served with papers of foreclosure and now have to move in 30 days. He never told me he was having these issues but yet continued to take my 750.00 rent. Is there anything I can do about this legally?

Yes, certainly, you can get your $750/,month rent back and applied to future payments that the landlord (I assume) is required to make under your lease. If the landlord defrauded you and the two of you had no lease, all you can do is sue him for money had and received, but even if you had no lease you can sue him under the doctrine of constructive trust.
