"EVICTED"
Julie and John Holzhauer's wedding photo lies with the rest of their family's possessions that were spread over the front lawn after being evicted from their home on September 15, 2011 in Centennial, Colorado. Sheriff's deputies served a court order to evict the family of five after they had earlier fallen behind in a rent payment, and the owner sued for their eviction. Julie's husband, John Holzhauer, a home building contractor, said he lost up to 40 percent of his business due to the weak economy and continued housing crisis. He said he paid the owner his outstanding rent balance the week before, aside from a $100 dispute, when sheriff's deputies came knocking. The eviction team removed all their belongings from the house and changed the lock. |
