A student is studying Tennessee foreclosure law and makes a list of statements about non-judicial foreclosure in Tennessee. Which of the following statements is NOT accurate under Tennessee law?

Correct Answer

C) After a completed non-judicial foreclosure sale, the former borrower has a 6-month statutory right to redeem the property.

The statement that the former borrower has a 6-month statutory right of redemption after a non-judicial foreclosure sale is NOT accurate under Tennessee law. Tennessee does not provide any statutory right of redemption after a non-judicial foreclosure sale. Once the trustee's sale is complete, the borrower's rights to the property are extinguished. This is one of the most commonly tested distinctions in Tennessee foreclosure law.

Answer Options
A
Tennessee uses deeds of trust rather than mortgages as the primary security instrument for real estate loans.
B
The trustee must publish the foreclosure sale notice in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks.
C
After a completed non-judicial foreclosure sale, the former borrower has a 6-month statutory right to redeem the property.
D
The trustee can conduct the foreclosure sale without obtaining a court judgment.
