In the US the house is yours in nearly everyway as long as you make your payments.
After the housing crash in 2008 they made it more difficult for the bank to foreclose on homes. You have to miss 4 consecutive payments before they can begin foreclosure. Also the last payment has to be 30 days past the due date before they can begin foreclosure. So 120 days of missed payments before the bank can act.
Additionally most mortgage companies have a 15 day grace period meaning you can pay 15 days past the due date with absolutely no penalty. That’s common practice, but not law. My guess is this grace period cuts down on the staff they need to manage accounts.
When it comes to the deed it’s just me and my spouse on it not the bank. Interestingly I’m not even on the mortgage just the deed, but that’s a whole different story about the bogus credit score system
This does all sound very german.
