With banks
bleeding money, you’d think they’d want tenants to stay in their homes
and continue paying rent. But frequently that’s not the case. As the
foreclosure crisis spreads, tens of thousands of renters have been
evicted through no fault of their own, and there’s not much positive
news in the near future. On this edition, we continue our series “How
We Survive” and hear from renters and renters’ advocates about the
invisible victims of the mortgage meltdown.
