Many people who had jobs saw their mortgages re-set to levels they could not afford, so they walked away from their homes or stopped paying mortgages and got foreclosed on.At the same time, many new households were prevented from buying homes by skittish banks, and then by formally higher lending standards.These two groups of people - employed people who could no longer afford their mortgages and would-be homeowners who were turned down for loans - had no choice but to rent.
