Redemption Period
time period, as established by state statute, during which a property owner can redeem a defaulted mortgage or land contract or reclaim a foreclosed property. A property owner acting during the redemption period must pay all defaulted payments and associated charges. For example, Brian acted within the stipulated three-month redemption period and paid all defaulted mortgage payments and late charges on his home thereby preventing a foreclosure proceeding.
