- For individual real estate financing contracts, notify any housing support programs at the Ministry of Housing (if applicable) of the lessor's intent to repossess the asset from the lessee and provide them with all required information according to the form approved by the Contract Registration Company. This is to assess whether the lessee (individual) meets the support criteria established by the ministry (if applicable).
- If there are no support programs at the Ministry of Housing, or if the lessee (individual) does not meet the support criteria, the Contract Registration Company will issue an executive bond for the repossession of the asset and provide it to the lessor, including the contract number and date, place of payment, place of issuance, date of the bond, lessor's name, lessee’s name, amount due, current payments, and asset ownership details.
