This is the story of a tenant, a landlord and a foreclosure.
The tenant pays his rent on time, keeps the property clean and rarelys bothers the landord.
The landlord takes the rent, never comes by to see the tenant unless called upon for a problem.
The landlord stops paying the mortgage payment, and doesn't tell the tenant.
The mortgagee forecloses.
The sheriff delivers the notice of sheriff's sale. Legal documents are delivered regarding the foreclosure and sale.
The redemption period goes by, six months here in Minnesota.
The attorney for the new owner, sends a "Notice to Vacate" to the tenants giving them 60 days notice to vacate by a certain date or they will be evicted.
So far all is going according to the law.
The landlord has a foreclosure on his record and also at least 9 months rent from the tenant and the tenant's security deposit.
The tenant has to find a new home, and will have the expense of moving, will have to pay a new security deposit and maybe connexion deposits for utilities.
Do you see a victim? Do you see a crook?
Who is being punished by the law?
The victim is being punished for the crime committed by another.
And that is why I say: The law is an ass!
