Landlord Rents Home In Foreclosure To Tenant, Then Strips The Place Of Appliances, Fixtures

In Las Vegas, Nevada, KTNV-TV Channel 13 reports:
  • Imagine signing a lease, moving in, and weeks later your landlord takes all your appliances. The dishwasher ripped out, refrigerator snagged and even the toilet is gone. "I don't understand this, but they took all the shelving units from inside the pantry," Melody Hosp says. This is all evidence a house in foreclosure. [...] "Evidently the property is in foreclosure and he came to remove all his appliances and all his belongings from the house. We still live here," Hosp says. Melody just moved in this month.
