(3)
If land sold under execution does not bring two-thirds of its appraised value, the
defendant and his representatives may redeem it within six (6) months from the day
of sale, by paying the purchaser or his representative the original purchase money
and ten percent per annum interest thereon. The defendant redeeming his land shall
take a receipt from the purchaser and lodge it with the clerk of the court, which
receipt shall be filed and recorded with the execution under which the sale was
made.
The defendant may tender the redemption money to the purchaser or his agent or
attorney, if in the county where the land lies or in the county where the judgment
was obtained, and if the money is refused or if the purchaser does not reside in
either of the counties, the defendant may, before the expiration of six (6) months, go
to the clerk of the court where the execution issued and make affidavit of the tender
and refusal or that the purchaser or his agent or attorney does not reside in the
county where the land lies or where the execution issued, as he believes. He may
then pay to the clerk the redemption money for the purchaser, and the clerk shall
give a receipt therefor and file the affidavit with the execution in his office.
When the right of redemption exists, the defendant may remain in possession until
the right of redemption expires.
