Grace Period Definition
This is a period of time wherein you are not assessed a penalty for the late payment of your
mortgage. Generally, lenders provide a 15 Day period
after the due date of a payment
before they assess any fees for the tardy payment.
Another 'Grace Period' that many people are not aware of is the 60-Day period after the transfer
of a mortgage from one lender to another. Because of the difficulties that often result from
transitioning from one lender to another, the law provides a 60-Day Grace Period to protect
you. This means that a lender can't report any late payments to the credit bureaus during this
period and may only report your payment as late if you remain behind on your payments after
the expiration of this 60-Day Period.
