I am a LandLord and I aprove this Sheriffs message. If you feel any other way you must be a ''slumlord''.

This guy will end up running the legitimate, decent landlords (who are making their house payments) out of business. That is the last thing this economy needs right now. By going on TV, I feel like this guy just gave the bad renters a free pass, no matter what type of landlord they have.

From the article:

Evictions for nonpayment of rent will continue, Dart said, explaining that those cases already have gone to court, his office is confident the people being evicted are who the landlord says they are, and there is no question the tenants are aware of what is going on.

This Sheriff needs to be giving a medal. With cities and counties becoming sanctuary cities, and unwilling to kick-out illegal immigrants, which is a slap to the law abiding citizens of this country, it''s nice to see that someone is looking out for John and Jane Doe of main street now-a-days.

Instead of the usual, help all others while the American citizen is told to buck it up once again, in favor to whom doesn''t deserve the extra help and consideration.

What a breath of fresh air!!

The sheriff of the third-most populous U.S. County halted evictions on foreclosed properties on Thursday.

I agree, why punish the renters of the dwelling, when the owner of the property is at fault.

I see the mortgage companies are quickly to lay blame and fault on the Sheriffs decisions. (Calling him a vigilante) -- this is so far from the truth.

This is exactly why America is in trouble today -- Mortgage companies only see pieces of paper and not human occupation of the dwelling.

All I see here is pointing of the finger instead of a solution to the cause.

Come on big corporate mortgaged companies,, Look for solutions instead of your corporate greed -- I back the Sheriff %u201310000000 $%

Solution = If the renters are making their monthly payment to the mortgagee and the mortgagee is not paying the mortgage and is behind ,, get the renter to assume the loan with the original owners permission.

Oh yea --- I forget ,,,,, this takes a lot of time and paper work ..

It seems ,, that actually having to work as a mortgage company takes presentence over human welfare. ??????? Must be true!!!!!!!!

Why can''t the banks let the renters stay in the homes and the renters can pay rent to the bank. Everyone wins that way. The renters continue to have a place to live and the banks realize some income from the foreclose properties. Doesn''t seem link rocket science to me.

What about the Property Owners???? they are the ones taking the rent money and not paying on their obligations. Delinquencies are communicated to the property owner.

So the bank loans the money and then has to cover for the owner who is essentially embezzeling from them and the renter???

Wow! unbelievable! and many posters here fail to recognize the responsibilities of the property owner. Please someone tell me why the property owner is not even considered committing any wrongdoing in this situation.

Not all landlords are bad, just as not all renters are bad. I am one of the landlords who, in spite of increasing property tax and insurance, has made every single house payment. My profit is down to nothing, but I cannot sell anything right now. If I evict anyone it is because they have not payed their rent. I am not adopting my renters and don''t expect to have to support them and I can''t afford to adopt them. The judge or magistrate determines if the eviction is justified and when it is granted I expect the sheriff to do his job........ unless he would like to make the house payments for me. This guy will end up running the legitimate, decent landlords (who are making their house payments) out of business. That is the last thing this economy needs right now. By going on TV, I feel like this guy just gave the bad renters a free pass, no matter what type of landlord they have.

The press is reporting on the wrong person. This Sheriff IS actually following the law by refusing to evict rental tennants without any proof that the laws are being followed. The real press reporting should be on all the Sheriffs that are kicking renters out when the banks haven''t been following the laws and therefore the Sheriffs aren''t following the laws. THAT should be the story.

I think the banks are missing a golden opprotunity..... when they forclose on a house that has renters..... let them keep renting, or make them a deal to purchase the house...... at least this way they will continue to get money....... what have they got to lose.
