Many borrowers in default stay put as lenders delay evictions

Despite being months behind, many strapped residents are hanging on to their homes, essentially living rent-free.

Pressure on banks to modify loans and a glut of inventory are driving the trend.

In the Inland Empire, an estimated 100,000 homeowners are living rent-free, according to economist John Husing, who based that number on the difference between loan delinquencies and foreclosures. Industry experts say it's difficult to say how many families are in that situation nationally because only banks know for sure how many customers have stopped paying entirely.
