HOME Line’s Senior Housing Attorney, Paul Birnberg, was featured in a FOX 9 News report on renters affected by landlord foreclosure. Mr. Birnberg commented that while renters may have trouble identifying a soon-to-be foreclosed rental property before moving in, neither the landlord nor the bank can force them out until at least 6 months after the sheriffs sale–sometimes longer. HOME Line received nearly 1,000 calls from renters across the state affected by landlord foreclosure in 2011.
