Articles about Foreclosure
The word foreclosure is on everybody’s lips – thanks to the crisis it triggered off in America that has spilled over to engulf the world. There are a staggering number of foreclosures in the America with millions facing it causing this focus on foreclosure, which till the other day was just a part of the mortgage world.
The foreclosure is a legal procedure by which a lender gets the nod from the court to terminate the right of the borrower over the property and to auction it to realize unpaid dues. Other holders of lines like tax authorities or unpaid contractors can also foreclose on the property in question. Foreclosure laws differ from one state to another – there being judicial or no judicial foreclosure. Some allow redemption others do not.
After the property is sold the lender or other interested creditors who had placed a lien on the house returns the balance amount after taking back unpaid dues.
When the borrower starts to lag behind in payments the foreclosure process in reality begins. The borrower is said to have become delinquent. The lender issues a notice saying that the house is in foreclosure and that it will be sold off at an auction to realize the dues. The formal demand for payment is known as NOD or Notice of Demand. It is usually issued when the borrower is three months behind. The notice terminates the borrower’s right on the property, threatens to sell it and then evict the previous owner.
Tenants have so far had no protection when the landlord is foreclosed upon as the lease agreement expires with the change of ownership. But lately changes are being made in the law to help the renters.
