Default

A Default occurs when a borrower fails to meet their legal obligations in the mortgage contract. The most common cause of default is when a Borrower fails to make their monthly payments on a mortgage. 



So, what happens if you default on your mortgage? Your lender can take possession of the property, either via Foreclosure or Power of Sale, and recover the amounts owing to them under the Mortgage.
