Landlords are greedy to want to collect rents. They should pay property taxes (higher and higher) out of their own family’s budget, after all it is for pensions.
“And lawyers say additional cases have been sealed by judges, raising questions about how complete Cook County’s data is.”
My god, Judges seal evictions to keep the tenants’ names out of public records which makes it easier for tenants to find new apartment and move after an eviction judgment. Sealing evictions is favored and basically routine in most cases. It just goes to show little these journalists know about the topics they cover. The answer is they know very little.
