Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said he's a step closer to ending his prohibition on foreclosure evictions, a move that grabbed national media attention last week.Via The Capitol Fax Morning Shorts!
Cook County judges on Tuesday began using a new court document for foreclosure evictions that specifically names tenants living at the foreclosed property and states how long they are allowed to remain in units -- the length of their lease or 120 days, which ever is shorter -- before deputies haul out their belongings.
The new language in court eviction orders aims to quell Dart's concern that renters might not get proper notice their landlord had lost the property in foreclosure.
But Dart isn't backing off his no-eviction pledge just yet.
