One of our neighbors on the cul-de-sac went through bankruptcy twice last year. He has been a continuing problem to the home owners association. He hadn't paid his HOA dues in several years. He started renting out rooms in the house. At one point, he had three renters living with him.

Before the bankruptcies, he tried for several years to sell the house at an exorbitant price. In mid-January, the bank foreclosed on him and took title of the house. Nevertheless, he continued to live there and rent out rooms. As the renters came and went, he even added a new renter earlier this year when he didn't even own the house!?!

The legal maneuvering has finally run out. A judge gave him and the renters until July 11 to be out. It has been a little bit of a circus the last couple of days as one of the renters apparently bought an RV to live in. She parked it in the driveway to load her stuff into it.

It is hard for me to believe that it took the bank six months to get him out of the house. It will be interesting to see what happens with the house next.
