Prohibit evicting tenants from rental units during foreclosure proceedings
In Plain English
Banks and new property owners often evict tenants immediately after foreclosing on rental properties. This law would protect tenants by preventing evictions while a foreclosure is happening. If approved, tenants can stay in their homes during the foreclosure process instead of facing immediate displacement.

Why This Vote Matters
The council approved a new law that prevents banks and new property owners from immediately evicting tenants during home foreclosures. Instead of facing sudden displacement when their rental property gets foreclosed, tenants will now be allowed to stay in their homes throughout the foreclosure process. The measure passed with broad support in a 6-0-1 vote, with Councilmember Bates abstaining. This protection helps renters avoid homelessness when foreclosures happen through no fault of their own.
