    Just because a person is bankrupt doesn't mean you do not pay them rent money. If the property is foreclosed the bank or new owner would instruct you where to pay rent. Why did you move out, who required this? Who told you to withhold the rent?

    Note that it appears to be in the UK.

    I don't know, but perhaps the "insovency agency" is something like a bankruptcy trustee?
