Although there is a sale date, that doesn't mean the homeowner won't work something out with the bank before that date. Don't open yourself up to a breach of contact action or eviction by the current homeowner for nonpayment of rent. After the sale, you do not need to pay rent to your current landlord, but the new owner may require it. You would have to talk to the agent responsible for your property to determine if you should continue to make rental payments after the sale.

The washer and dryer are the property of the landlord if they came with the apartment, she can do as she pleases with them, unless it is in the lease that you are to use them while you are living there. You should be looking for a new place to live. Did the property sell at the sheriff sale or not? If not, you are still able to stay there until you find another place. You would have to be taken to court for the eviction, she cannot lock you out. Again, put the rent payments in an escrow account at your bank. Tell the bank what you want to do and they will help you with it. It must be separate from your other bank accounts.
