Displaced Fresno renters
Fresno foreclosures aren’t only affecting the families that own and occupy the property in question.
A recent study released by Tenants Together (a statewide NGO for renter rights) claims almost 37% of all residential property foreclosures in California involved a renter in the property.
NEWLY DISPLACED FRESNO RENTERS
For every 10 homes going into foreclosure, four had a renter in the property. A renter that is now out of shelter.
The owner of the property, in some cases, was collecting the monthly rent check and choosing to not pay the mortgage on the property.Alarming when you think about the number of the renters who were paying their rent on time and knew nothing of the coming foreclosure.
The renter(s) were living up to their lease agreement and made sure to pay their rents in full and on time, only to have a noticed taped to their door giving them 30 days to vacate the reprocessed home.
