If you mean because you're in default and want to avoid foreclosure, it's called a "deed in lieu of foreclosure" and it's usually part of an overall agreement that hopefully also extinguishes the mortgage debt. Typically the mortgage company is not required to accept it. They drive the bus.....

Are you a homeowner if you pay mortgage?

You are, but your mortgage company is on the deed and is also considered an owner of your home.


Do you need to tell your mortgage company if you rent your house?

No, you do not. The deed has a due on sale clause, but no stipulation for renting your home.


Can I surrender a home and not be in foreclosure?

Yes, it's called a Deed-In-Lieu of foreclosure. You agree to walk away from the home and deed the property back to the mortgage company. This will still have a negative impact on your credit, but not as bad as a foreclosure. Most of the time, a Deed-In-Lieu is a cheaper option for the mortgage company as well because of all of the additional attorney fees/costs associated with the foreclosure process. However, a lot of mortgage companies still have rather restrictive guidelines for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu, some of these restrictions may require the mortgage has already been delinquent for some time, and that the property has been listed for sale at fair market value for a minimum of time (usually 90 days). Because the mortgage industry is struggling, these guidelines are ever changing and often can be bypassed. Call your mortgage company to find out what their specific guidelines are for accepting a Deed-In-Lieu. If you haven't already put your home up for sale, it would be a good place to start. If you can get a reasonable offer, even if it's less than the mortgage, your mortgage company may accept a short sale, which will be better for your credit and will also save the mortgage company money.

Can you deduct interest on a home loan taken out from a relative not from a bank?

Here's what I found so far: To deduct interest payments paid as itemized home mortgage interest, the loan obligation must be secured by a recorded mortgage or deed of trust against the home. This can be doneby their signing and recording a mortgage or deed of trust to secure the promissory note.

First, default just means not paying. The mortgage company has nothing to do with the tenants until there is a foreclosure sale. The two owners on the deed are the landlords. After a foreclosure sale, the bank must give at least 90 days notice to tenants.
