As soon as a lease is signed - whether or not money has exchanged hands - a legal obligation has been formed. If the landlord decides that he or she does not want you to move in, they may break the lease, but they will open themselves up to a lawsuit.

What happens if your landlord's house is foreclosed?

As long as your landlord has control of the property he still has the right to collect rent: whether the house is foreclosed is between your Landlord and his mortgage lender. If the property is taken over by the mortgage lender they may ask you to leave. There may be some form of protection available for you, the Tenant, before you are forced to leave. Get legal assistance as soon as you learn about the foreclosure so that you can be prepared for what's next. You may or may not be required to leave soon.

Well, the landlord cannot sue for eviction if you're already gone. If you have damaged the property the landlord can sue for damages, and normally within two years, but this varies by state.
