Disturbing Landlord Behavior Noticed
Lately, I’ve come across some pretty disturbing questions regarding landlords who rent out their properties even after defaulting on their mortgages and getting a notice of default in the mail. The tenants, who usually do not find out until the trustee’s sale is announced, continue to pay the rent to the landlords.
This makes me sick. While there is no law against this that I know of, the behavior of the landlords is despicable to say the least. How easy would it be to just send the tenants a letter saying the mortgage is in default and they need to start looking for another property? If they continue to stay, their time there is limited and they should continue to pay the rent until they leave.
I wonder if it is this behavior on the part of the landlords that make tenants think stealing things like light fixtures on the way out or just skipping out on a lease is okay.
