Pay whomever your management company told you to pay. That way you are covered. You must pay your rent to that person however until you actually get notice to vacate the property, regardless of whether or not the house is in foreclosure.

I’ve saved a property from tax sale 3 days before it was to be sold, and if those tenants hadn’t been paying their rent, they’d be very unhappy.
