Title 12 › CHAPTER 38 — MULTIFAMILY MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE › § 3706
Requires the foreclosure notice to be signed by the foreclosure commissioner and to show their name, address, and the date. The notice must name the Secretary, the original lender, and the original borrower; give the property’s street address or a clear location and a description of what will be sold; list the mortgage date and where it is recorded; explain the default, including the due date of the earliest unpaid installment or other defaults and that the loan has been accelerated; give the date, time, and place of the sale; say the sale is under this chapter; list any costs the buyer must pay at transfer; and state the deposit required, how it must be paid, and how and when the balance must be paid. The Secretary does not have to pay a deposit. The Secretary may require a buyer to keep operating the property under the same program rules or agreements that applied before the sale. If most of the units are occupied by tenants at the time of sale, the Secretary must require any buyer (other than the Secretary) to follow those rules. If the Secretary buys a multifamily project, the Secretary must manage and dispose of it under section 203 of the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 1701z–11).
