On Friday, September 5, Paula Taylor was evicted from 76 Perrin St. as more than 75 people loudly protested. Four protesters who had chained themselves to the door were arrested.
The key issue in that eviction was Bank of America's refusal to accept rent after foreclosure. According to Congressional estimates there will be over 20,000 foreclosures in Mass. in the next 12 months, which means about 30,000 forcible evictions. All these evictions will be "no-fault." Occupants of foreclosed buildings will offer to pay rent. The Banks will refuse.
