Usually, a lender obtains a security interest from a borrower who mortgages or pledges an asset like a house to secure the loan. Therefore if the borrower defaults, the lender tries to repossess the property. Courts of equity can grant the borrower the equitable right of redemption if the borrower repays the debt. While this equitable right exists, it is a cloud on the title and the lender cannot be sure that they can successfully repossess the property. Therefore, through the process of foreclosure, the lender seeks to foreclose. In other words, immediately terminate the equitable right of redemption. By taking both legal and equitable title to the property in fee simple. Other lien holders can also foreclose the owner’s right of redemption for other debts, such as for overdue taxes, unpaid contractors’ bills or overdue homeowners’ association dues or assessments.

Violation of the mortgage is a default in the payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When the process is complete, the lender can sell the property and keep the proceeds to pay off its mortgage and legal costs.
