(2) If the interest mortgaged is described in the mortgage form as a leasehold interest, the grant in subsection (1) shall be construed as a charge of the unexpired term of the lease less the last month of that term.
(3) This means that
(a) this mortgage shall be a charge on the land, and
(b) the borrower releases to the lender all the borrower's claim to the land until the borrower has paid the mortgage money to the lender, in accordance with these mortgage terms, and has performed all of the borrower's promises and agreements.
(4) The borrower may continue to remain in possession of the land as long as the borrower performs all of the borrower's promises and agreements.

Interest
3 (1) Interest is chargeable on the mortgage money and is payable by the borrower.
(2) Interest is not payable in advance. This means that interest must be earned before it is payable.
