§ 745.Injunction Restraining Injury to Property By Party In Possession

Property in the middle of foreclosure or execution proceedings is vulnerable to neglect or deliberate damage by whoever still occupies it. Section 745 lets the court, on a good-cause showing, enjoin that occupant from doing anything injurious to the property in two specific windows: during the foreclosure of a mortgage on the property, and after a levy on the property but before possession transfers under the resulting sale.

This gives plaintiffs and purchasers a tool to protect property value during the gap between initiating enforcement and obtaining possession in hand — a gap where, without this kind of order, an occupant with nothing left to lose might otherwise cause damage the eventual owner would have to absorb.
