Move comes in wake of growing mortgage crisis

Wednesday, October 08, 2008 With Cook County on pace to conduct a record number of evictions this year and an unprecedented number of evictions due to mortgage foreclosures Cook County Sheriff Thomas J. Dart announced Wednesday he is suspending all foreclosure evictions.
The move comes as a result of the growing number of evictions that involve renters most of whom are dutifully paying their rent every month, only to later learn their landlord has fallen behind on mortgage payments and the building has gone into foreclosure. While mortgage companies are supposed to conduct a basic due diligence investigation before requesting an eviction identifying all occupants sheriffs deputies are regularly finding no work done by the mortgage company in advance, leaving the identifying work to deputies working at taxpayer expense.
These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and dont care whos in the building, Dart said. They simply want their money and dont care who gets hurt along the way. On top of it all, they want taxpayers to fund their investigative work for them. Were not going to do their jobs for them anymore. Were just not going to evict innocent tenants. It stops today.

He would be living in his suburban using a mobile broadband card/laptop to be talking chatting with us...

I understand what the Sheriff is trying to do here.. People are paying their rent and the owner of the complex is not.. So, the people who are paying are getting the boot cause of the people who are not...

I do think everybody needs to step back for a little while and let things play out in Washington..
