Texas Cops Seek Alleged Scammer For Renting Out Homes He Doesn't Own To Tenants

In Desoto, Texas, WFAA-TV Channel 8 reports:

• [P]olice are looking into a former mayoral candidate who they say is renting homes he doesn't even own. Officers showed up in a DeSoto neighborhood to search a home for information on Morris Mosley. [...] Now there's a warrant out for his arrest. Investigators say he broke into multiple homes that are in foreclosure or up for sale and rented them out for profit. "To go into someone else's home and then rent it to someone else when you don't have the property - that's pretty bold," said Corporal Ted May from DeSoto Police.
