Tenants, be sure to keep up with the government-assisted programs that are being developed and passed to ensure financial aide to those in need.
As of Wednesday, March 25th, The Division of Banks on behalf of Governor Baker called for all regulated financial institutions to follow new guidance to accommodate borrowers who are affected by COVID-19 and cannot make timely payments. These actions include:
60-day postponement of foreclosures;
60-or-more day grace period for late mortgage payments that includes waiving late fees, online payment fees, and reporting to credit agencies;
Offering borrowers an additional 60-day grace period to complete trial loan modifications;
Ensuring the consistent availability of account management and customer service capabilities for borrowers, even if the mortgage servicer closes its office; and
Providing proactive outreach to borrowers explaining what assistance they offer.
If you are concerned about paying your mortgage, be proactive and contact your mortgage company right away. Many of them are allowing delay of payments until summer without impacting credit. Be sure to CONFIRM DIRECTLY WITH THEM and don’t take it from us.
Landlords, be sure to keep up with the government-assisted programs that are being developed and passed to ensure financial aide to those in need.
