Home Staging Rentals

Question: Can I get money from the bank that foreclosed on the property I was renting?
I rented a home for 6 months in early 2008, during which the landlord became significantly behind on the mortgage payments and the house went into early stages of foreclosure.
I moved out in June 2008, unfortunately the landlord did not return my deposit. I went to small claims court and the court found in my favor. While it was awaiting a possible appeal from the landlord the house was foreclosed on and the bank took ownership.
Can I still move forward placing a lien on the the rental property and ask the bank to cough up the deposit/judgement or is my only option to keep pestering the landlord (whom I guarantee will never pay me)?
Many thanks!
Answer: You can not put a lien on something the landlord does not even own. Liens are not randomly placed on property.
The bank owes you nothing, you need to deal with the landlord.
