246 P. 1032 | Colo. | 1926
THIS cause is before us upon an application for a supersedeas. The writ of error has been sued out to review an order denying the appointment of a receiver in a foreclosure suit, after the foreclosure sale and before the time for redemption expired.
The complaint was filed on October 7, 1925. On December 4, 1925, a judgment for $21,719.64 and costs, and a decree of foreclosure was rendered. On January 16, 1926, at the sheriff's sale under the foreclosure, the property was struck off to plaintiff for $21,748.62, the amount of the judgment, court costs and costs of sale. There is no deficiency judgment involved in this case. The decree provides that the real estate be sold, and it was sold, subject to the lien of all lawful taxes.
On February 16, 1926, plaintiff filed his petition for the appointment of a receiver for the purpose of taking possession of the land involved during the period allowed for redemption, and applying the rents and profits toward the payment of delinquent taxes. The petition alleges that defendant failed to pay the taxes for the *573 year 1923, and that in 1924 there was a tax sale. It is also alleged that defendant has failed to pay taxes for the years 1924 and 1925, and that he will not pay them for the year 1926.
It is well settled that the mortgagor is entitled to retain possession of the premises until the time for redemption expires. 27 Cyc. 1738. In Wilson v. Wolf,
The plaintiff in error cites Haas v. Chicago BuildingSociety,
The application for a supersedeas is denied, and the judgment is affirmed.
