PROPERTY 3D: MORTGAGES
CHAPTER 4. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES PRIOR TO FORECLOSURE
§ 4.1 Mortgage Creates Security Interest Only
Wash.App.2021. Com. (a)(1) quot. in ftn. Borrower sued loan servicer, alleging, among other things,
that it violated the Consumer Protection Act by threatening foreclosure on a deed of trust that secured a
promissory note, because some of the past-due installments due under the note were time-barred. The
trial court granted servicer's motion to dismiss. This court reversed in part and remanded, holding that
servicer's notice of intent to foreclose, which stated the sum of borrower's debt without distinguishing
the portion of her debt that was time-barred, had the capacity to deceive a reasonable consumer and thus
was potentially actionable under the Act. The court cited Restatement Third of Property: Mortgages §
4.1 in explaining that Washington followed the minority rule that, when the limitations period ran on a
debt, the statute of limitations prevented enforcement of both the debt and a related security agreement.
Eng v. Specialized Loan Servicing, 500 P.3d 171, 178, 179.
§ 4.6 Waste
N.J.Super.App.Div.2021. Cit. in sup. Assignee of lender filed an action for foreclosure against
borrowers who defaulted on the mortgage encumbering their property. After borrowers failed to respond
and a default judgment was entered against them, the trial court granted in part borrowers' objection to
the entry of final judgment, in which borrowers alleged that assignee, upon receiving insurance proceeds
for storm damage to borrowers' property, held those proceeds for over three years and unreasonably
delayed deciding whether to approve borrowers' proposed use of the proceeds for repairs. The court,
however, rejected borrowers' argument that assignee was required to reimburse them for money they
spent on emergency repairs immediately after the storm, noting that, under Restatement Third of
Property: Mortgages § 4.6, a mortgagor's duty to avoid waste did not carry with it a right to be paid for
expenses incurred in restoring or preserving the property damaged by natural causes. Wilmington
Savings Fund Society, FSB for Pretium Mortgage Acquisition Trust v. Daw, 265 A.3d 178, 192.
§ 4.7 Mortgagee's Right to Funds Paid Under Casualty Insurance or Taking in Eminent Domain
N.J.Super.App.Div.2021. Cit. in sup.; subsec. (b) and coms. (a) and (d) quot. in sup.; com. (b) cit. and
quot. in ftn. Assignee of lender filed an action for foreclosure against borrowers who defaulted on the
mortgage encumbering their property. After borrowers failed to respond and a default judgment was
entered against them, the trial court granted in part borrowers' objection to the entry of final judgment,
in which borrowers alleged that assignee, upon receiving insurance proceeds for storm damage to
borrowers' property, held those proceeds for over three years and unreasonably delayed deciding
whether to approve borrowers' proposed use of the proceeds for repairs. This court affirmed in part,
