California Civil Code Section 1695In Reply to: cooling off period posted by Jason on June 13, 2002 at 7:25 AM : Is the 5 day cooloing off period applicable in all states? What does it apply to? ================== Jason, No, the 5 day rule comes from California's Civil Code Section 1695 rather than from some universal federal rule. So it applies to buying a home in foreclosure, in California, from an owner-occupant where the purchaser intends to flip the property rather than personally occupy it. In such an instance the purchaser must give the homeowner a 5 day right to cancel their sale agreement before exchanging anything of value with them (i.e. money, deed, trust deed, etc.). In the instance where there's less than 5 days left before the foreclosure auction then the cooling off period expires as of 8:00 AM on the morning of the scheduled trustee's sale.
