So the sheriff in Cook County, IL, says that he’s going to stop evicting people…
Dart said that from now on, banks will have to present his office with a court affidavit that proves the home’s occupant is either the owner or has been properly notified of the foreclosure proceedings.
… because he wasn’t supposed to be doing it in the first place?
Illinois law requires that renters be notified that their residence is in foreclosure and they will be evicted in 120 days, but Dart indicated that the law has been routinely ignored.
If the sheriff was routinely ignoring the law, shouldn’t he be the one thrown out on his ass?
As a serf, you’re beholden to the lord and his local laws that govern the manor and its holdings. In most cases the lord and his bailiff have a certain degree of allowable wiggle room to help keep the peasantry in line. Of course you can appeal to the earl or the king, but the chances of either siding with a mere tenant of the land are small. Hooray America.
