The house that i have been renting was just forclosed on and a receiver came to the house to collect rent now do i pay him?

The short answer is yes you do have to pay rent. However, I would ask the receiver to show you a court order appointing him on behalf of the bank and that also authorizes him to collect rent. In foreclosure, the owner owns the home until the court issues a deed to the bank after a sheriff's sale of the property. In my practice, I have seen all kinds of companies that make offers or demands to individuals before they have the legal right to do so. So, write the gentlemen a letter requesting an explanation as to who the receiver is and what the court has authorized him to do. If he says the house is bank owned, verify that with the owner. Ultimately, the receiver will likely evict you, so make sure you can secure as long of a lease as possible. I would also develop a plan B just in case.
