BOSTON - December 9, 2008 - As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's ongoing response to the foreclosure crisis, the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development and the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, with support from Massachusetts Housing Partnership, released a brochure outlining the rights and responsibilities of tenants living in foreclosed buildings. The guide empowers renters with information to ensure that they understand the foreclosure process and are not unfairly evicted after the building they live in is foreclosed upon.
