The "Keep Chicago Renting" ordinance protects tenants in foreclosed buildings. Now, owners of foreclosed homes will have to either help relocate their tenants or continue renting out the property until it's sold to a third party.
"Let's keep that building occupied. It becomes stronger in a community. It will be safer. And I believe it will also stabilize the community and families who have children who have to be taken out of schools they've been going to for quite a few years and have to move," said Alderman Ray Suarez, 31st Ward.
Chicago is now the second largest city in the country to protect renters in foreclosed buildings.
