This is the one authorized action that a secured lender may properly take, and the entire concept is referred to as the one-action rule.

Once the mortgagor has made default in payment of the mortgage debt, the mortgagee is entitled to pursue any or all of his remedies... Hence the mortgagee can at the same time sue for payment on the covenant to pay principal and interest, for possession of the mortgaged estate, and for foreclosure... If the mortgagee realises part of the debt by his action on the covenant, or by sale of part of the property, he must give credit in the foreclosure action for the amount realised, and if, after foreclosure, he proceeds on the covenant, he re-opens the foreclosure. 2, record 2, English, - action%20on%20the%20covenant
