Renters' Rights Violated by Foreclosed Property Owners

It's not only homeowners who are under pressure from the real estate market's slow recovery. Renters are experiencing it, too.

But in their case, it's often property owners who are applying it, in violation of a law passed last year by President Obama under the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act. The act states that tenants have the right to stay in their homes after foreclosure for 90 days or through the term of their lease.

The problem has been particularly rampant in Miami-Dade County, Fla., where many landlords disregard the law, and take matters into their own hands.
