clog on the equity of redemption

Read a random definition: good cause

A quick definition of clog on the equity of redemption:

A clog on the equity of redemption is an agreement or condition that prevents someone who has defaulted on their mortgage from getting their property back without any encumbrances after paying off their debt or fulfilling their obligation. The equity of redemption is the right of a person who has defaulted on their mortgage to recover their property before it is sold in foreclosure by paying off the principal, interest, and other costs that are due. This right allows the person to reimburse the mortgagee and cure the default until the foreclosure sale. In some places, the person also has a statutory right to redeem the property within six months after the foreclosure sale and is entitled to any surplus from the sale proceeds above the outstanding mortgage amount.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A clog on the equity of redemption is an agreement or condition that prevents a mortgagor (borrower) from getting back their property free from any encumbrance (legal claim) upon paying the debt or fulfilling the obligation for which the security was given.

Equity of Redemption: The equity of redemption is the right of a mortgagor in default to recover their property before a foreclosure sale by paying the principal, interest, and other costs that are due. This means that a mortgagor has the right to reimburse the mortgagee (lender) and cure the default until the foreclosure sale. In some jurisdictions, the mortgagor also has a statutory right to redeem within six months after the foreclosure sale, and the mortgagor becomes entitled to any surplus from the sale proceeds above the amount of the outstanding mortgage.

Example: Let's say John took out a mortgage to buy a house. He fell behind on his payments, and the lender threatened to foreclose on the property. John managed to come up with the money to pay off the debt, but the lender refused to release the property unless John paid an additional fee. This fee is a clog on the equity of redemption because it prevents John from getting back his property free from any encumbrance upon paying the debt.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a clog on the equity of redemption can prevent a mortgagor from recovering their property even after paying off the debt. In this case, the lender is imposing an additional fee that is not related to the debt or obligation for which the security was given. This fee is a clog on the equity of redemption because it prevents John from exercising his right to redeem the property and get it back free from any encumbrance.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
