MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE/LANDLORD & TENANT EVICTION - CAUSES

Yesterday, while volunteering at the Mortgage Foreclosure Clinic at the Nassau County Bar Association, the causes of most homeowners in distress was clear - the economy and/or unemployment. Today, I volunteered for tenants at District Court in the Housing Part. Again, I have not consulted with anyone who has defaulted on their mortgage or lease because they want to - it's the economy. Tomorrow I will be a volunteer attorney at Nassau Supreme Court for mandatory settlement conferences at the 11am session.
