Frequently Asked Questions

What types of foreclosure does Massachusetts allow?

Massachusetts allows both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure. Non-judicial foreclosure through the power of sale is more common and requires the 150-day right to cure notice, three weeks of newspaper publication, and a public auction.

What is the 150-day right to cure?

Under MGL c. 244, s. 35A, Massachusetts borrowers have 150 days to cure a mortgage default before the lender can accelerate the debt and begin foreclosure. This is one of the longest cure periods in the nation.

What is Chapter 93A protection?

Chapter 93A prohibits unfair or deceptive acts in trade and commerce, including mortgage lending. Willful violations can result in treble (triple) damages plus attorney's fees, making it one of the strongest consumer protection statutes nationally.

Are deficiency judgments allowed?

Massachusetts generally prohibits deficiency judgments after non-judicial (power of sale) foreclosure. If the lender chooses judicial foreclosure, deficiency judgments may be available.
