Cash For Keys in Los Angeles

This term comes up in the unfortunate circumstance that a property is sold at a public auction and the property reverses to the mortgage company, mortgage holder, lien holder or the bank. This means the property was foreclosed on by the bank—the person who owned the property no longer owns it.

After the property is foreclosed on by the lienholder, bank, or mortgage company—and they become the new owner of the property—they want to be able to sell the property right away. And they are going to want the property vacant as soon as possible. The bank then wants to create a win-win for everybody involved. The process of evicting a tenant can get very costly, and the bank wants to avoid losing more time and money. They want to avoid the cost of repairing damages caused by the occupants. This is where the Cash for Keys situation comes into play.

The bank will offer the occupant a Cash for Keys, an arrangement whereby the occupant is paid to surrender the keys and vacate the property by a certain date. For example, a bank might offer money in exchange for moving out within thirty days. In some cases the amount can be negotiated, and also the amount varies from bank to bank. The money offered is intended to cover the relocation costs of the evicted occupant. If the occupant of a property is offered Cash for Keys (CFK), the bank or mortgage holder will set a mutually agreed upon move-out date. The lienholder, bank or mortgage company offering you cash to move out of the property will want the property vacated sooner than later. Also, when negotiating a move-out date, the longer you want to stay at the property, the less the bank will offer you to move out.  The sooner your move-out date is scheduled, the more money the bank will offer. It is also agreed that no damages can be caused by the occupant. The occupant is usually expected to leave the property clean and in a broom swept condition.  The occupant can not cause any damages to the property.
