Truth to Tell on KFAI

Truth to Tell is produced by CivicMedia/Minnesota (Andy Driscoll, Executive Producer) as part of KFAI’s public affairs programming schedule.

Rental foreclosures: The new homelessness

By Andy Driscoll, Truth to Tell on KFAI

Record-breaking foreclosures continue apace across the country - and in Minnesota, but, despite laws designed to help tenants avoid premature eviction, renters are getting taken for a ride by banks and realtors who want them out of their homes and units so the properties can be turned over for a profit much sooner than the law allows.
