Looking For Eviction Laws?
The Eviction Laws can be misunderstood by many homeowners and an Eviction Process can be really intimidating for many home owners in default. I received recently, a question from a homeowner in stress:
“If you live in a house and are losing it , have been living in it for 6 months paying no mortgage, will they just show up at our door and say ok you have to leave? or will we get some kind of 30 notice to leave?”
Response: An EVICTION NOTICE SIGNED BY A JUDGE FROM COURT must be shown in order to legally take you out from your home. Nobody can do this without this notice. Check your Eviction Laws, though, because every state is different, so you need to understand it very well. You can go to foreclosurelaw.org to find the legal rules for your case. Check also if your state is a JUDICIAL or NON-JUDICIAL system as this is very important to know.
First of all, check the following points that are very common in a FORECLOSURE PROCESS for many states, although every state use to change the names for each one:
1.- DEFAULT: This period is between the first 30 days to 90 days being late in the payment of your mortgage.
2.- NOTICE OF DEFAULT: At 90 days without making a mortgage payment, you will receive from your lender a notification called in many states as Notice of Default. It will say that your lender will send your home for sale if you don?t pay what you owe.
3.- NOTICE OF SALE: Generally at 120 days late on your mortgage, a Notice of Sale will arrive at your home from a lawyer or a trustee telling you what day and what place will be the auction of your home. You still have the option to negotiate your situation.
4. Foreclosure (FC).- After (generally) 2 months of the NOS, the foreclosure sale will be made. Some states take more months for this. (you can stay free at the property)
5.- REINSTATEMENT PERIOD.- Around 50% of the USA states use to give by law a period of Reinstatement once the property was foreclosed, so you can find a loan to purchase again the property. It also gives a legal permission to stay into the property rent free for a determined period of time. Do your state allows Reinstatements?? If so, for how long?
6. Eviction.- In order to the new owner take you out from your home, it must be through an official document named EVICTION NOTICE. After the FC sale, you need to leave the property after 2 to 4 weeks depending in the state (some states take months for this), but if you didn?t get out from the property at that time, the new buyer of the property has to file a complaint in court, then an EVICTION NOTICE will be sent to you with a new dead line date, stating the sheriff will take you out from the property with all your family if you don?t leave. On the Sheriffs eviction, the belongings may stay at the property and you will not be able to take it out under the eviction laws.
Under your eviction laws, you are protected until the last day. A homeowner can stay without making payments to the mortgage until the last day of the eviction notice.
NOT EVEN A SHERIFF CAN TAKE ANY HOMEOWNER OUT FROM HIS HOME WITHOUT THIS NOTICE FROM COURT.
There are a lot of states allowing homeowners to stay into the property up 18 months without making payments to their mortgage. You need to check the laws of your state.
