Belvidere DMV evicted over lease dispute
By Ulysses Arn -
For 13 months, the Secretary of States' office refused to pay rent on its Belvidere facility. Due to that non-payment, the Department of Motor Vehicles is being evicted.
Local radio station WIFR spoke with one of the building's landlords, Diana Toft. Toft and her husband own the building on Pearl Street and they say they're not willing to sign a lease because of the terms offered in it. Toft says the state owes them 13 months of unpaid rent, saying the state hasn't paid since June 29th, 2013.
A representative from the Secretary of State's Office says they're not paying up because the Tofts haven't signed the lease.
