Sheriff won't evict renters in the dark about landlord's foreclosure
Dart said Wednesday that deputies won’t evict people who rent until banks can provide proof that the person living at the property has been notified of the eviction.
...
Dart said his deputies were doing the heavy lifting for banks. Banks need to find out who actually lives at a foreclosed property, he said...
“Do due diligence, bank: Is it in fact a single-family home and that’s the person that’s named? Then we go right ahead with it.” Dart said. “All too often this person has rented it out to somebody. The court is completely unaware of it. The person in that house has paid their rent for the past two years.”
...
Once banks provide an affidavit, occupants will have 120 days before the eviction is carried out.

what a load of rubbish. Forgiving foreclosure is, and always has been an option. People find themselves in financially difficult times for a myriad of reasons, which I submit to you, in spite of your self proclaimed powers of ESP, you have NO way of knowing.
Im not saying people arent foolish, of course they are. As are you. But your holier-than-thou attitude reminds me of that viscous substance inside a diaper.
by the way: because of where I work, I get to see these poor folks after you and your ilk have done your dirty deeds.

I wish you hadn't disregarded the last half of my post. We offer so many other options aside from just letting them live for free in the house. Hell, we still do that. We don't send people to forclosure for years in some cases.
And forgive me for claiming I'm psychic. Regardless of whether or not I know they're lying, I go above and beyond to help them, andything from a simple repay to calling the forclosure rep and begging them to hold because this person gave me a promise to pay. And I do that regardless of whether or not I think they're lying.
My point in my post is that I don't think it's right or fair for some of the more shady people to live for free when so many of us work hard, holding multiple jobs just to stay afloat

I can see it helping people, but as to being legal I do not see it.

Well now, how do we define 'legal'?
From what I've seen, the meaning seens to be changing at a rapid pace. Case in point would be many of the actions of the bush cabal, which used to be illegal until his buddies changed it for him.

I think they deserve to be kicked out! Any American who takes out a mortgage of half a million dollars to buy a house when they only make 40-60k a year are just idiots and the bank being equity stupid for allowing it to happen. Come on people!
