At least he tried.
A mortgage lender wants a Cook County judge to force Sheriff Tom Dart to get back to the business of evicting people from foreclosed homes. |
On Wednesday, Dart announced his eviction moratorium, saying he’s willing to face contempt-of-court charges for not following court eviction orders. |
Accredited Home Lenders filed a lawsuit Thursday to get Dart to obey an order that calls for the eviction of Shirley McFarland of Dolton from her foreclosed bungalow. |
“Sheriff Dart may have concerns about the orders that he is charged with enforcing, but he simply cannot refuse to carry them out. The orders of the court must be enforced,” attorneys for Accredited Home said in a statement. “This lawsuit is necessary to ensure that.” |
| Dart told Kinnaird that too often his deputies are evicting renters who have not been given notice the property is in foreclosure. |
