Tenant Family Of Eight Gets Boot As Landlord Loses Home To Foreclosure

In North Port, Florida, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports:

• When Alice and Marco Ramirez moved from Fort Myers to North Port last summer, they did it for their six boys, ages 3 to 17, who the couple feared could end up in a gang if they stayed. [...] But the family worked into the night Thursday, packing their belongings and scrambling to find a place to stay after getting kicked out of that home through no fault of their own. The house had been foreclosed on and sheriff's deputies notified the family they had until midnight Thursday to move.
