Sounds like the State robbed "Peter" to pay "Paul"......get what you can cuz it ain't gonna last forever......rents are like anything else...it's what the market will bear...if they're too high, he'll have too many vacancies and "bingo" the State will be able to sell it again...IMHO, he's raised the rates to effect a "voluntary" eviction. Done many times in the past, especially if there are leases involved that weren't set aside by the auction.. Once the property is clean then he can start fresh or sell the land for a hotel, big box store or whatever the highest and best use of the land foretells.........Dennis
