Quotes from this article on CNN:
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — Sheriff Thomas J. Dart said Wednesday he is suspending foreclosure evictions in Cook County, which had been on track to reach a record number of evictions, many because of mortgage foreclosures.
He said many of the evictions involve renters who are paying their rent on time but are being thrown out because the landlord has fallen behind on mortgage payments.
Mortgage companies are supposed to identify a building’s occupants before asking for an eviction, but sheriff’s deputies routinely find that the mortgage companies have not done so, he said.
“These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and don’t care who’s in the building,” Dart said. “They simply want their money and don’t care who gets hurt along the way.
“On top of it all, they want taxpayers to fund their investigative work for them. We’re not going to do their jobs for them anymore. We’re just not going to evict innocent tenants. It stops today.”
Can you believe this guy? A Cop… out trying to do good in the world. Geez, enough with letting innocent people live in their apartments!! Throw every last one of those hard-working people who are paying their rent out! They should have known their landlord’s financial state! (Yes, of course I’m being sarcastic!)
I understand laws are in place for a reason but what kind of BS is this?
The association said Dart could be found in contempt of court for ignoring court eviction orders.
How about if those eviction orders are incorrect or misleading? It’s not the renters who are falling behind; it was their dishonest or otherwise unscrupulous landlord that wasn’t paying their bills on time. Toss that person out on the streets instead of the people living at the apartment complex affected by the landlord’s actions… or lack thereof.
