What I'm providing in this post is not legal advice, but legal commentary or observations similar from law review or journal articles. I will try to prepare a spreadsheet this coming Sunday night. This spreadsheet will be the accumulation of TUG TS knowledge.
I wish to thank:
1) @TUGBrian @DeniseM and other tuggers for supporting this project;
2) @CalGalTraveler for recommending adding information about anti-deficiency protections for defaulting TS owners;
3) @Fredflintstone for identifying the main three (3) anti-deficiency states for defaulting TS owners and providing the CA TS Manual website link and page numbers;
4) @pedro47 for identifying my formerly outdated links for VA (pretty embarrassing for me to learn that from a non-lawyer).
As legal commentary, I noticed:
1) Only CA has mandatory anti-deficiency foreclosure, no matter what defenses defaulting TS owners raise.
2) SC and FL have elective non-judicial, anti-deficiency foreclosures. Inaction to or electing non-judicial, anti-deficiency foreclosures reserves that anti-deficiency right for defaulting TS owners, but objections waive that anti-deficiency right.
3) IN has permissive anti-deficiency, judicial foreclosures. The only method to obtain waiver of deficiency judgment is for defaulting TS owner to waive 60/90-day sale notice period (IC 32-27-7-5), with IN resort's agreement. If the defaulting IN-TS owner has a valuable week (i.e. summer, Christmas, New Years, near time and location of Indianapolis 500 or Notre Dame football games), the IN resort might want to resell quickly and agree to waive the deficiency judgment.
4) IL also has a permissive non-judicial, anti-deficiency foreclosure. Maybe if the TS owner is judgment-proof, on fixed income, or has ERISA-protected retirement accounts; or the IL resorts know they can’t collect on deficiency judgments; IL resorts might resort to a non-judicial, anti-deficiency foreclosure to save legal costs.
5) defaulting homeowners, but not MF-defaulting TS owners, get anti-deficiency protections in AZ, HI, NV, MT, ND, OR, and OK. Based on circumstances, mortgage-defaulting TS owners might get anti-deficiency protections in HI and MT.
