Definitely not. The previous owner is no longer your landlord, and not entitled to any rent.

I pay rent but im not on the lease I dont have any privacy walks in through my door unexpected What are my rights?
This depends on what you are renting. Are you renting a bed space, a room, or a home? If you are renting only a bed then that's all you have and you don't have a right to reasonable expectation of privacy. If you're renting a room or better than no one except whom you allow is allowed to enter through that door. If your landlord walks into your home without permission he is violating the Landlord and Tenant laws and can be taken to court for this.
Is it illegal to have your tenants pay rent to another individuals bank account while you are going through foreclosure and not making mortagage payments?
Until the foreclosure sale happens, the tenant owes the rent to the landlord. What is happening between the landlord and tenant is really none of the tenant's business. And, yes, a landlord can certainly ask the tenant to pay the rent to someone else, acting as an agent. However, the tenant would be within his rights to say, "No, I'll only pay to the landlord."

What is the process of renting a home these days?
The process of renting a home will vary depending on the landlord, whether the home is listed with a realtor and other factors. In general, the landlord will advertise the home for rent. The prospective tenants either contact the landlord or property manager directly for a showing or go through a realtor. There may be an application, background check, reference checks, a credit check and/or an employment check. The tenant typically pays a security deposit, pet deposit if applicable, and up to two months in rent before signing the lease.
How can you stop your neighbors who live above you from continuously bothering you through running kids and moving elements?
There isn't much you can do as it's normal noise for most households. If you are renting and the person upstairs is renting contact your landlord and ask if carpeting can be put down on the floors upstairs. If this noise is only during the day then you are really out of luck, but if it keeps up through the night you have a right to complain.
I'm in a lease option and a storm blew my shed through my fence and my neihbors fence i am only renting the place i want to know if the landlord is responsible for replaceing his property or am i?
Look really carefully at the wording in your contract. This will help to answer this question. Chances are you are a renter who has purchased the "option" to purchase the property at a set price at a future date. In which case your landlord is responsible for the damages as long as they were in fact caused by God and the shed wasn't something that you put on the property but was there when you started renting it.
Paid 4 month of rent when landlord wasn't paying mortgage. Landlord went into foreclosure and we had to move out. Do we have legal grounds to reclaim that 4 months of rent through small claims?
You could try, but the fact is, you owed him that rent up until the day the foreclosure sale happened. Whether or not he is paying the mortgage has nothing to do with your obligation to pay the rent. By federal law (and most states have even stronger laws) the bank should have given you plenty of time to move.
Does a previous landlord have the right to refuse giving a reference?
Yes, he can. Avoid this kind of delay by being smart when renting. Always insist on a walk through both when first renting and before returning the keys when you move out. Take pictures as you go through the home. Keep receipts of carpet cleaning or other repairs you had done. Alternatively, you can provide evidence of prompt payment and professional references of your character. If the landlord keeps your deposit or later refuses references, your records will see you through.
Is there a law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a tentants deposit?
There is no law requiring a landlord to give a walk through before keeping a deposit. However, if the landlord did not give a walk through, it is easy for the tenant to argue that the landlord is lying because there is no proof that the damage being claimed by the landlord really existed at move-out.
