The next owner must honor your lease, and that includes the security deposit even if they didn't collect it from your landlord during the foreclosure process. Your security deposit is safe.
The only exception to this is if your current landlord returns your security deposit to you, either in cash or in lieu of rent. In that case, the new owner (bank, investor, private party, whomever) will be within their rights to receive a new security deposit from you if they wish.

Your security deposit transfers with the sale of the property. The new owners would be responsible for payment of the deposit.

You sue your former LL for the deposit AND the 9 months lease she illegally amassed from you. The financial enterprise by no potential had your deposit, so there is not any longer something to sue them for. She exchange into no longer legally entitled to hold mutually lease for ingredients she did no longer very own. you may desire to to speak to the financial enterprise and enable them to correctly known she is gathering lease, and verify she is performing on their behalf.
