Facing foreclosure doesn’t mean you’re powerless. Homeowners have legal protections — but few know how to use them.
Key Legal Rights Include:
-
Right to Notice: Lenders must notify you before filing foreclosure.
-
Right to Reinstate: Some states allow you to catch up on payments before sale.
-
Right to Redemption: Certain states offer time to reclaim property after auction.
-
Right to Legal Representation: Homeowners can defend against unlawful practices.
Tip: Always read foreclosure notices carefully and respond before deadlines. Silence often equals surrender in legal processes.
