You would be surprised. (As I was when I first read this)
God has laws on this. (So watch out those who take real estate properties of others).
“29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.”- Redemption of Property – (Leviticus 25:23-34) KJV
Of course man has their own “man-made” rules that oppress the poor. Or the oblivious, when it comes to real estate properties.
There are wrongful foreclosures these days. And we may pity the one who lost their house, but it is in reality. more pitiful, the wrath that will fall upon those who orchestrate such property theft.
