Lender liability claims arise when a lender’s actions contribute to losses or unfair outcomes in a real estate transaction.
Common examples include predatory lending, issues with loan terms, and improper charges or practices by the lender.
In California, lender liability encompasses claims against lenders for wrongful conduct that harms borrowers or property owners, including misrepresentations, coercive actions, and unlawful foreclosure tactics.
Key elements include identifying the harmed party, documenting losses, and outlining legal theories such as breach of contract, bad faith, or statutory violations. The typical process starts with a complaint, followed by discovery, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation.
