House I've been renting has been foreclosed on

[JohnnieGoodtimes]

I came home from school today to a foreclosure notice hanging on the door stating the house goes up for auction April 14th.

I spoke with a local legal aid non-profit and they told me if the house sells at auction I have a month to get out. If it doesn't sell, my landlord has six months to try to reclaim the property.

I'm banking on the house not selling at auction which gives me enough time to save up money. Being unemployed and living off the state's laughable unemployment insurance, I'm not sure if I will be able to afford a new place.

My question is once the sheriff comes to kick me out 6 months from now how feasible is it to liberate the house? Could I come back the next day sneak in through a window and change the locks? What if they cut services like water, gas and electric? Would I be able to restore services under my name at the same address without tipping someone off?

Basically I have one more year of school left here in Michigan and then I'm out of this shit hole. So I don't want to move in six months only to move again when I start my bachelors in another state.

There'll be viewings of the house before the bids, right? How feasible is it for you to sabotage the viewings? You know, find some way to "warn" the potential buyer that you will not be leaving as quickly as they would like.

[Q]

Organise your neighbourhood. Start an anti-foreclosure group. Blockade the auction. Blockade the bailiffs (when they come). Solidarity of the collective is your key to success. The more you can organise, the better your chances are to keep your home and those of all the other people in your neighbourhood. Raise the demands for a decent home for all and a say of all people over it, politicize the resistance by questioning the system and putting forward the demand for democracy (people having a say on their lives).

I hope this helps.

I wish there was a showing before the bids because I'd love to pull of what they did in the movie Step Brothers when the house was up for sale. I can't post the video because my post count isn't high enough. Look it up on you tube "how to stop a sale stepbrothers" if you if havent seen it.

I will be starting a community organization at some point. Funny thing, with the street name and Community Project at the end of the organization the initials for the group are CCCP.
