Tenant rights in NY State

My landlord received a summons regarding the house being Foreclosed. When I asked If the house was, I was advised that the Bank and a relative of the Landlord are in the process of establishing a 'short sell'.
Where do I stand as a tenant while this goes on and how can I find out what is happening as my landlord is not a reliable source in being truthful with information of this importance?

Do you have a written lease?

No, there is no lease as I am renting a room. The rent is paid on a weekly bases.
A 2 week security deposit' was paid in the beginning.
