• STRICT FORECLOSURE
  
  In a strict foreclosure procedure, after a delinquent borrower has been notified and the proper papers have been filed, the court designates a specific period during which the balance of the default must be paid in full. If the payment is not made, the borrower's equitable and statutory redemption rights are waived and the court awards full legal title to the lender. There is no deficiency judgement in strict foreclosure cases. (See foreclosure, judicial foreclosure, nonjudicial foreclosure)
