Freddie Mac temporarily suspends foreclosure evictions

Freddie Mac says it has ordered all evictions involving foreclosed, occupied, single-family and 2- to 4-unit properties that had Freddie Mac mortgages to be suspended from Dec. 20, 2010 to Jan. 3, 2011.

"If the property is occupied, our foreclosure attorneys will suspend the eviction to provide a greater measure of certainty to families during the holidays," said Anthony Renzi, executive vice president of single family portfolio management at Freddie Mac.
