If you become unable to meet the commercial mortgage payments on your commercial property and have not done so for 3 or more months, then it is likely that you are will be facing the prospect of a foreclosure action.
A foreclosure is commenced when a lender files court action and records a notice of a pending lawsuit (referred to as Lis Pendens) against the borrower. The lender usually notifies the borrower and any other affected parties in person or in some cases by mail or publication.
Once a foreclosure action begins the borrower must respond to the court action within a specified period of time (usually 20 days). If they fail to do so the clerk can find the borrower in default and the lender can then ask the court to make a final ruling.
If the court rules against the borrower, the ruling will declare the total amount owed to the lender due and payable and the foreclosure sale date is set.
