ACTION ALERT: Urge your lawmaker to protect homeowners and homebuyers facing predatory real estate practices

ACTION ALERT: Join NC Justice Center in urging lawmakers to protect homeowners and homebuyers from predatory real estate practices

Soon, the NC House Judiciary Committee II (J2) will meet to discuss SB1015, The Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act, sponsored by Senator Josh Stein. This bill would prohibit foreclosure rescue scams and create reasonable regulation and standards for option to purchase or "rent to own" contracts and contracts for deeds. These scams and unscrupulous real estate transactions are used to exploit and manipulate families struggling to pay a home loan or families who are having trouble obtaining a loan to purchase a home.

Please act today!

Contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee II and urge them to support SB1015.

"We're telling legislators the following: In these challenging economic times, as many North Carolinians face lost jobs and the threat of foreclosure, we must make sure that struggling homeowners and aspiring homebuyers are protected from predatory real estate practices. Vote yes on the Homeowner and Homebuyer Protection Act SB1015 to protect the economic well-being of your community and your constituents. "
