09700SB0016ham004- 11 -LRB097 06631 AJO 56429 a

1    policy;
2        (3) that under the terms of the mortgage, all such
3    advances, costs, attorneys' fees and other fees, expenses
4    and disbursements are made a lien upon the mortgaged real
5    estate and the plaintiff is entitled to recover all such
6    advances, costs, attorneys' fees, expenses and
7    disbursements, together with interest on all advances at
8    the rate provided in the mortgage, or, if no rate is
9    provided therein, at the statutory judgment rate, from the

19    real estate, make such repairs to the mortgaged real estate
20    as may reasonably be deemed necessary for the proper
21    preservation thereof, advance for costs to inspect the
22    mortgaged real estate or to appraise it, or both, and

09700SB0016ham004- 12 -LRB097 06631 AJO 56429 a

1        (6) that under the terms of the mortgage, any money so
2    paid or expended will become an additional indebtedness
3    secured by the mortgage and will bear interest from the
4    date such monies are advanced at the rate provided in the
5    mortgage, or, if no rate is provided, at the statutory
6    judgment rate.
7    (e) Request for Foreclosure. The request for foreclosure is
8deemed and construed to mean that the plaintiff requests that:
9        (1) an accounting may be taken under the direction of
10    the court of the amounts due and owing to the plaintiff;
11        (2) that the defendants be ordered to pay to the
12    plaintiff before expiration of any redemption period (or,
13    if no redemption period, before a short date fixed by the
14    court) whatever sums may appear to be due upon the taking
15    of such account, together with attorneys' fees and costs of
16    the proceedings (to the extent provided in the mortgage or
17    by law);
18        (3) that in default of such payment in accordance with
19    the judgment, the mortgaged real estate be sold as directed
20    by the court, to satisfy the amount due to the plaintiff as
21    set forth in the judgment, together with the interest
22    thereon at the statutory judgment rate from the date of the
23    judgment;
24        (4) that in the event the plaintiff is a purchaser of
25    the mortgaged real estate at such sale, the plaintiff may
26    offset against the purchase price of such real estate the

1    amounts due under the judgment of foreclosure and order
2    confirming the sale;
3        (5) that in the event of such sale and the failure of
4    any person entitled thereto to redeem prior to such sale
5    pursuant to this Article, the defendants made parties to
6    the foreclosure in accordance with this Article, and all
7    nonrecord claimants given notice of the foreclosure in
8    accordance with this Article, and all persons claiming by,
9    through or under them, and each and any and all of them,
10    may be forever barred and foreclosed of any right, title,
11    interest, claim, lien, or right to redeem in and to the
12    mortgaged real estate; and
13        (6) that if no redemption is made prior to such sale, a
14    deed may be issued to the purchaser thereat according to
15    law and such purchaser be let into possession of the
16    mortgaged real estate in accordance with Part 17 of this
17    Article.
18    (f) Request for Deficiency Judgment. A request for a
19personal judgment for a deficiency in a foreclosure complaint
20if the sale of the mortgaged real estate fails to produce a
21sufficient amount to pay the amount found due, the plaintiff
22may have a personal judgment against any party in the
23foreclosure indicated as being personally liable therefor and
24the enforcement thereof be had as provided by law.
25    (g) Request for Possession or Receiver. A request for
26possession or appointment of a receiver has the meaning as

 

 

09700SB0016ham004- 14 -LRB097 06631 AJO 56429 a

1stated in subsection (b) of Section 15-1706.
2    (h) Answers by Parties. Any party may assert its interest
3by counterclaim and such counterclaim may at the option of that
4party stand in lieu of answer to the complaint for foreclosure
5and all counter complaints previously or thereafter filed in
6the foreclosure. Any such counterclaim shall be deemed to
7constitute a statement that the counter claimant does not have
8sufficient knowledge to form a belief as to the truth or
9falsity of the allegations of the complaint and all other
10counterclaims, except to the extent that the counterclaim
11admits or specifically denies such allegations.

7mortgaged real estate against a person in the confirmation
8order shall not abrogate any right that the purchaser may have
9to possession of the mortgaged real estate and to maintain a
10proceeding against that person for possession under Article 9
11of this Code or subsection (h) of Section 15-1701; and

17than this Article. This right to possession shall be limited by
18the provisions governing entering and enforcing orders of
19possession under subsection (g) of Section 15-1508. If the
20holder or purchaser determines that there are occupants of the
21mortgaged real estate who have not been made parties to the

15sought to be appointed in any action in which a foreclosure is
16also pending, a receiver shall be appointed only in accordance
17with this Article. Except as may be authorized by this Article,
18no mortgage or other instrument may modify or supersede the

2    has been terminated, shall recite that it is only effective

11    of to whom and where the rent is to be paid has not been
12    provided to the occupant, or where the occupant has made
13    good-faith efforts to make rental payments in order to keep
14    current, any order of possession must allow the occupant to
15    retain possession of the property covered in his or her
16    rental agreement (i) for 120 days following the notice of
17    the hearing on the supplemental petition that has been
18    properly served upon the occupant, or (ii) through the
19    duration of his or her lease, whichever is shorter,
20    provided that if the duration of his or her lease is less
21    than 30 days from the date of the order, the order shall
22    allow the occupant to retain possession for 30 days from
23    the date of the order. A mortgagee in possession, receiver,
24    holder of a certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser at

5    the 120-day period or has made good-faith efforts to pay
6    the rent in full during that period. No
7    mortgagee-in-possession, receiver or holder of a
8    certificate of sale or deed, or purchaser who fails to file

13    intent to file such action has been properly served upon
14    the occupant.
15        (5) The court records relating to a supplemental
16    petition for possession filed under this subsection (h)
17    against an occupant who is entitled to notice under item
18    (4) of this subsection (h), or relating to a forcible entry

20    have lawful possession of the premises but for the
21    foreclosure of a mortgage on the property, shall be ordered
22    sealed and shall not be disclosed to any person, other than
23    a law enforcement officer or any other representative of a
24    governmental entity, except upon further order of the
