Broadcast 6/26/09 – It’s Your Call, KVCR’s call-in talk show, had guests from organizations that fight for the rights of tenants who find themselves on notice that their rental unit is being foreclosed upon.

One-third of foreclosures nationwide have renters at the time of bank repossession. Both single-family homes and multi-unit properties are being foreclosed, and in many instances it’s the owner’s investment property that is the first to go when the owner is struggling financially. This leaves renters in a precarious situation. These issues were discussed by our guests Enrique Acuna, attorney for the Inland Empire Latino Lawyers Association, Alan Sims, CEO For the Center for Litigation and Consumer Real Estate Education, and Eulalio Castellanos, attorney for the Inland Counties Legal Services. Both are non-profit organizations that provide legal assistance for those who cannot afford their own lawyer.

Watch host Roger Bowman ask questions and take caller questions for these three guests.
