Definition and Examples
- Definition
- Land Contract Foreclosure is the legal process initiated by a seller to reclaim property when a buyer defaults on payments under a land contract, also known as an "installment sale agreement." Unlike mortgage foreclosures, the process and rights of the parties involved may differ significantly, depending on state laws and the terms of the land contract itself. In states that recognize land contracts as a form of property ownership, failure to meet the terms of the land contract can result in foreclosure.
