vacant, or becomes vacant after the issuance of  such  judgment,  or  is
abandoned  by  the  mortgagor but occupied by a tenant, as defined under

erty until such time as ownership has been transferred through the clos-
ing of title in foreclosure, or other disposition, and the deed for such
property has been duly recorded; provided, however, that  if  a  munici-
pality  or  governmental  entity  holds a mortgage subordinate to one or

section.   AS USED IN THIS SECTION,  THE  TERM  "GOOD  FAITH"  SHALL  BE
