Renter who paid on time 'left out with nothing'

Where are our Republican friends moaning about the sanctity of contracts for Ms. Brown? And who're the real socialist when contracts are sacred only when they redistribute the wealth upward.

When Lisa Brown moved into her rental house on Long Island, New York, last summer with her three daughters, she says, it felt like a new beginning. Instead, Brown and her family are being evicted because her landlord defaulted on the mortgage. The house was recently sold at auction. "It took everything I had to move in," Brown says, "to give my kids a better environment." And now, "I'm left out with nothing."

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
