654.21 Demand for delay of sale.
At any time prior to entry of judgment, the mortgagor may file a demand for delay of sale. If the demand is filed, the sale shall be held promptly after the expiration of two months from entry of judgment. However, if the demand is filed and the mortgaged property is the residence of the mortgagor and is a one-family or two-family dwelling, the sale shall be held promptly after the expiration of twelve months, or six months if the petition includes a waiver of deficiency judgment, from entry of judgment. If the demand is filed, the mortgagor and mortgagee subsequently may file a stipulation that the sale may be held promptly after the stipulation is filed and that the mortgagee waives the right to entry of a deficiency judgment. If the stipulation is filed, the sale shall be held promptly after the filing. At any time prior to judgment, the mortgagor may pay the plaintiff the amount claimed in the petition and, if paid, the foreclosure action shall be dismissed. At any time after judgment and before the sale, the mortgagor may pay the plaintiff the amount of the judgment and, if paid, the judgment shall be satisfied of record and the sale shall not be held.
