When is a Hospitality Receiver Needed?

Typically, a receiver who is appointed in a rents, issues and profits case is one that has a professional background in the operation of a business/real estate and may include attorneys, CPA’s, property managers and/or other similarly qualified professionals.

The typical life cycle of a real estate receivership varies. A case can last for less than a day and up to a year or longer, depending on many factors. Ordinarily, a real estate case lasts only a few months, pending the completion of a foreclosure action by the lender. If the underlying default is cured or a bankruptcy is filed, these would be qualifying events to terminate the receivership.3
