  • •This law is about loans for building, buying, or fixing up property.
  • •There are limits on how much interest and fees can be charged for these loans.

  • •The rules are there to make sure loans are fair and helpful for what they're meant for.

Example

You want to take out a loan to build a new house.

The bank can't charge you super high interest or fees because this law sets limits to keep it fair. Also, there's a maximum amount you can borrow, so you can't take out a loan that's way too big for what you need.
