Reinstatement
Ohio allows reinstatement — paying all past-due amounts, fees, and costs to bring the loan current and stop the foreclosure. The deadline to reinstate is before confirmation of the sale by the court (borrower may pay the full judgment amount to redeem prior to confirmation) §2329.33.
Statutory redemption
After the foreclosure sale, borrower (judgment debtor) may redeem the property within before confirmation of the sale by the court (Ohio does not provide a post-confirmation statutory redemption period; all redemption rights end at confirmation) §2329.33. To redeem, you must pay the full sale price (or the full debt, depending on state law) plus interest and costs. During the redemption period, the borrower may retain possession in some states.
