Nevada Woman Loses Everything in Wrongful Foreclosure Lockout

A Las Vegas woman lost everything in a wrongful foreclosure lockout and trashout according to an article in the Las Vegas Sun.  According to the condo owner, a small real estate group based in Henderson, NV, hired a lock-out company to seize her condo while she was away enjoying a winter vacation in Utah.  The lock-out company had been instructed to take her belongings to the dump – which they did. 

When she returned, the only things that were inside her apartment was a curtain rod and satellite dish, EVERYTHING else had been taken to the dump, including priceless family photos, immigration papers, financial documents, medical papers, furniture, and clothing. 

The Sun reports that the group had sent the lock-out crew to the wrong condo, they intended to foreclose on the condo next door.  Admitting their mistake and accepting responsibility, the realty group offered her $20,000 as compensation for the destroyed belongings.

However the injured homeowner has rejected their offer and is seeking triple the damages for personal property, which a new Nevada state law enacted October 1, 2009 allows her to do.  She is seeking $200,000.

The lawmaker’s intention when passing the new state law was to force banks and real estate companies to be diligent and attentive before they take over a property. Perhaps she would have been more understanding and less likely to pursue an aggressive settlement if this were her first problem with the company. Unfortunately earlier in December they had changed the locks on her condo with out permission.  After she complained, they admitted their mistake but instead of changing the locks back, they simply gave her keys to the new locks.
