When is it okay not to pay a mortgage in New York?

Carl E. Person

It is okay not to pay a mortgage in New York when you don't have any money. What else are you going to do? You're not going to steal from a gas station to pay your mortgage nor should you steal from your retirement or from your credit cards. If you can't make the payment, stop paying and then invite a foreclosure action, defend the foreclosure action and then reach a modification agreement to end the lawsuit. I'm Carl Person, I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.
