Cash for Keys

Skilled Bankruptcy Lawyers Giving Struggling Homeowners Options

The program referred to as “Cash for Keys” is a way for homeowners in foreclosure — or for tenants who are victims of foreclosure — to receive cash in exchange for surrendering the keys and vacating the property. Banks generally reach an agreement with the occupants of a foreclosed home, which stipulates the home will be left in a good, clean condition. Our Tampa bankruptcy lawyers can help you to learn more about if this program is right for you.

If a foreclosure is imminent on your property, and you are considering your options, it may be in your best interest to consider “Cash for Keys.” This program may be used as a way to vacate the home, receive money for relocation costs and prevent the costs associated with foreclosure.

The agreements typically set forth a specific date that the home will be left vacant, including a promise from the occupants that they will not vandalize the home, strip the home of any fixtures or appliances, or leave behind any pets or personal items.
