You make some interesting points, but I must respectfully disagree. A loan to an individual is an agreement to repay that according to terms. I believe that there is indeed a moral obligation to attempt to fulfill that contract. The foreclosure clauses are meant to handle the cases where the borrower tries and fails to live up those obligations, not the case where the borrower chooses to ignore the obligations they agreed to. |

Or to not repay and accept the specified consequences.

Giving up the house does fulfill the contract. The only debatable point that I see is whether it's ok to live in the house without making any payments while the foreclosure process moves forward, or whether you should hand the keys to the bank right away.
