That’s easy, Mr. Badie: require a landlord credit check along with the tenant credit check before any lease is signed.

Then, pass a bill to provide temporary housing funding for anyone thus dispossessed. It cant be THAT many people.

But as to the fix itself, well, there can be nothing for tenants. A foreclosed property is property of the highest bidder.

Why cant you so easily fix this? The assembly will come face to face with the very idea of property ownership itself and confront the impossible obstacles in the way of any change there.

An illegal immigrant who was twice deported to Mexico for drug felonies has been sentenced to life in prison for taking part in a cocaine trafficking ring.

Nothing to see here folks, just move along. Please AJC foreclose on Badie’s a**.

Easy solution, inform tenants the same time the property owners are informed that foreclosure proceeding have started.

I see LT, the “What Recession Kid” is still alive and drooling.

Absolutely. There’s a reason why they have eviction law procedures in place. These laws should be extended to the renters of foreclosed properties as well. This should be a no brainer, but you just never can tell.

How can you just throw people (renters)out on the streets like yesterday’s trash because the owners haven’t paid their mortgages and/or taxes? It’s only fair and just that they be given ample time to find suitable and adequate living arrangements.

Notify the tenants immediately. A little empathy mixed with a common sense and decency will go a long way with this one.

Brucie,

Show me two consecutive quarters of GDP growth and I will concede to a recession. That is the definition of a recession.

Of course an idiot such as yourself will never let the facts stand in your way. That’s the problem with facts, you can’t change them Brucie.

Better luck next quarter, you may get your wish. Until then you’ll just have to cruise the video booths at Inserection and “keep the change” in your own special way.

Blubbering Badie would have been better served in this blog by informing renters of what rights they have. Of course, that would be too much like journalism for Badie to ever possibly engage in.

Bush admits U.S. in recession Jon Ward Friday, December 5, 2008

President George W. Bush makes a statement on the economy, Friday, Dec. 5, 2008, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington.

President Bush on Friday said for the first time that the U.S. economy is in a recession, four days after a key body announced that the country has been in recession for a year.

“Today’s job data reflects the fact that our economy is in a recession,” Mr. Bush said, during a statement to reporters on the South Lawn.

Brucie the ever prominenet dumbass.

A Recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth that is it. No other definitions apply.

No matter what the leather daddy stock broker whispered in your ear last weekend at the Heretic, those are the facts.

An example. You have an extra chromosome which makes you a retard. Even if your mommy tells you that you aren’t retarded, just “special”.

Due to that fact that you were a civil servant and never had to support yourself in the private sector, I can understand why the world of economics befuddles you.

After all, a civil servant only makes their living sucking up tax dollars from the real working people. Economics need not apply.

It seems like you have no “rights” as a decent, pay-on-time renter anyway!

It would be nice for it to be mandatory to notify tenants of possible foreclosure/ property sales.

But it seems like being a (honest, reliable) tenant means being screwed irregardless.

Typical rental management attitude: 1. You can pay us rent on time, but if you lose your job and might not be able to pay, we’ll keep insisting there’s “no way out” of your lease even though plenty of renters available to take your place.

If we change management or lose the property, too bad!

I feel for the honest renters, but I think a lot of landlords are douchebags.

Anybody read Furman Bisher’s latest? He’s talking about brave’s pitching during the football season. Is there anything more superficially mundane and munch-time mealy-mouthed than a football-season-timed baseball report like this one? So what? Write about these clowns in May when they’ve had a few starts and we can all get interested in the race for the pennant. Duh, I think warm beer and cold hotdogs are good and pitching beats hitting and bobbycox makes bonehead decisions out there all day long…

We should have three world series rings. We won the minnesota series, except Cox forgot to drill his players about running the bases. We also had the yankees till Cox let that fastball genius throw an offspeed pitch. WHY? Just fire it in there and go home champs. But no. Cox is too busy breaking his wife’s heart to care about his fan’s hearts.

I can point to the blade of grass, the crystal of ice, the drop of sweat, the cheatin’ referee that led to all of the Atlanta franchises being losers losers losers. (did I mention that all atlanta sports franchises are losers?)

I watch sports. I observe coaches. I read sports journalists. That’s why I’m uniquely qualified to comment here. I am the loose ball foul of blog. I am the hat-trick of rimshots. I am the stitching in the seams.

I dont just eat, breath and drink sports. I am the Snap Crackle Pop of Crunch Time, I am the hell in the Hail Mary, the punt in the bunt, and yes, that’s right, I am the Doctor VaJajay of sportswriting! (cheerleader reference).

With state Sen. Fort (D) making the proposal I’m sure there will be more NUTS than blots in this potential legislation. All that is necessary would be a requirement to notify tenants that a foreclosure has been initiated on the property.

Look for Sen. Fort (D) to create things like: A renter’s displacement fund to assist tenants in relocating and to recuperate all due renter deposits. Performance bonds required for all landlords to be able to rent property, so as to assure monies will be set aside in the displacement fund and a six month grace period to find new housing before any tenant can be evicted. Now that’s a plan Ole Vince could live with.

Ole King Roy is busy at the moment suing the county so he can’t pursue these landlords. Seems the county wants to put the small local sanitation companies out into the streets. Stay tuned it is going to get interesting in the case of King Roy v. Queen Wiggins and Jester Bannister – the Jester is now on a taxpayer funded retreat up in them thar hills.

What can you say, we tried to serve the Jester an eviction notice but a miscarriage of justice occurred !

MHS: You give Bannister too much credit when you call him a jester. The jester knew that it was his job to act as an idiot to entertain the crowd. I don’t think Bannister is acting and I don’t even think he fathoms how poor a job he is doing.

Who knows how things would be going had Bannister got thrown out but it is hard to imagine things being any worse.

The renters should get a 60 day warning to vacate. The banks will just have to tough it out while the renters makes other arrangements. This is about human beings here. If banks can’t deal with people it needs to shut down. Treating people like trash is unacceptable and the government needs to protect the rights of tenants.

Brucie, Blubbering Badie and the other resident idiots.

Here’s a good legal resource for answers about tenants rights in Ga. Brucie will be fine, he has Section 8 status. The government picks up his tab.

Blubbering Badie could have pretended to be a journalist and actually passed on some salient information.

*A tenant who remains on rental property after the owner, who is his landlord, has been foreclosed upon becomes a tenant at sufferance. The lease between the tenant and the original owner/landlord is terminable by the purchaser. If the purchaser wants the tenants to vacate, he must first demand possession of the property and, if refused, file a dispossessory warrant. *

*The purchaser can choose to become a landlord, either by offering a new lease or accepting payment under the prior agreement. A purchaser at foreclosure who accepts rent from existing tenants has entered into a tenancy-at-will which can be terminated with sixty (60) days notice and which the tenant can terminate with thirty (30) days notice. *

*A tenant residing in property that is threatened with foreclosed should attempt to contact the new owner or the attorney handling the foreclosure to determine if the tenancy will continue. If a tenant does not receive assurances of continued tenancy from the foreclosure attorney or the purchaser, the tenant may argue that the lease was terminated by the foreclosure. *

http://www.lawhelp.org/GA

Now you can go back to your whining about a recession that hasn’t happened yet. The same one Blubbering Badie was moronically proclaiming well over a year ago.

Again for the retards. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

Why not answer the questions posed to you, “What Recession Kid”?

No one needed Section 8 after Pappy Bush and no one will need it after sonny Bush leaves, a great time to buy a home.

Quick figures, after Pappy left office,the deficit was -290.3 in billions, when Clinton left office it was +236.2 in Surplus, when sonny leaves, an est. a -410.0. Btw…that is per year.

Brucie the ominpresent Dumbass,

First are you saying section 8 housing wasn’t present until President Bush #1? It was started in 1937. Typical retard Brucie puts his mongoloid IQ on display.

As for Clinton, he balanced the budget on the back of the military and was the beneficiary of the fiscal infrastructure put in Place by GWB #1 and Ronald Reagan. Of course, his spending (remember Hillary’s Universal Healthcare?) was reigned in by a Republican Congress.

Some facts for Brucie:

Of the 305,000 employees removed from the federal payroll, 286,000 (or 90%) were military cuts.The statistics for America’s defense during the Clinton years reveal the deep-seated animosity of the administration toward those who served in the military. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 12. The Navy was reduced from 546 ships to 380. Air Force flight squadrons were cut from 76 to 50.

Brucie. Spend less time on your knees and more time reading.

Hey Logical Dude, LT5000 is also a physical midget, in case you couldn’t tell from his Napoleonic complex talk. I am still attempting to gather hard evidence (no, LT, not the “hard way” you desire, I’m afraid) on his widely-suspected latent homosexuality. His tireless obsession with gay jokes almost certainly belies a fondness for “taking on all comers”, as they say.
