When can rescission rights be waved?

When can rescission rights be waved?

• A. By written request of the borrower if they have a bona fide financial emergency
• B. By lender discretion
• C. After 30 days
• D. Never

Answer: (A)

Rescission rights act as a protective cooling-off period for certain dwelling-secured loans. Normally there’s a short window after closing during which the borrower can cancel the loan. These rights can be waived, but only if the borrower makes a written request showing a bona fide financial emergency. The waiver must come from the borrower in writing; the lender cannot unilaterally decide to waive it. Outside of that emergency-written waiver scenario, the rescission period remains in place. So the best answer is that rescission rights can be waved by the borrower’s written request in a bona fide financial emergency.
