No specific laws identified for this ruling.
The bankruptcy court ruled in favor of the debtor Lopezes, finding that the antimodification provision of § 1322(b)(2) does not apply to their two-unit property because it is not solely a principal residence. The court held that the property qualifies for mortgage strip-down in their Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan because one unit has been continuously rented for income purposes.
