Chicago-Area Sheriff Moves Closer To Resuming Foreclosure Evictions

In Chicago, Illinois, the Chicago Sun Times reports:

• Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said he's a step closer to ending his prohibition on foreclosure evictions, a move that grabbed national media attention last week. Cook County judges on Tuesday began using a new court document for foreclosure evictions that specifically names tenants living at the foreclosed property and states how long they are allowed to remain in units -- the length of their lease or 120 days, which ever is shorter -- before deputies haul out their belongings.

• The new language in court eviction orders aims to quell Dart's concern that renters might not get proper notice their landlord had lost the property in foreclosure.
