COLLUSION (BID-RIGGING) IN AN AUCTION IS A CRIME
Collusion between bidders in a DLBA auction, which is also known as “bid-rigging,” is a type of fraud and a violation of Federal antitrust laws. The DLBA takes the integrity of its auctions very seriously and bid-rigging is unfair to competing bidders and, ultimately, to the people of the City of Detroit. If the DLBA finds evidence of collusion in an auction, it reserves the right and will not hesitate to, as appropriate, reject specific bids, cancel an entire auction (in each case keeping the deposits or downpayments of the colluding parties), and/or pursue criminal prosecution of the parties involved to the fullest extent of the law.
Please note that the rehab cost will often cost more than the winning bid price. Failure to bring a property up to code within 6 months will result in forfeiture of property (9 months for historic properties). Auction dates are subject to change. Check the site regularly to be aware of any schedule changes.
PROPERTY OWNED BY THE DETROIT LAND BANK IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. ACCESS TO OR ENTRANCE UPON SUCH PROPERTY WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE DETROIT LAND BANK AUTHORITY CONSTITUTES TRESPASS, AND IS A VIOLATION OF MICHIGAN LAW. TRESPASSERS MAY BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
