When it comes to an event of mortgage default, the Courts have, on many occasions, set aside interest rate increases triggered by default, as well as default penalties and late payment charges. It may come as an eye opener to many Lenders that Section 8 of the Interest Act prevents them from charging higher rates on default or automatic renewal of a mortgage. Lenders may also be astonished to learn that provisions made in their mortgage commitments and loan agreements pertaining to mortgage default penalties, fees or fines may be rendered unenforceable due to the effect of Section 8 of the Interest Act. Please come join us as we discover Section 8 of the Interest Act its effects of prohibiting Lenders from charging penalties and increased interest for defaults on a mortgages.
