Judgment bars redemption only in real property described therein.
If a plaintiff who files a complaint to foreclose the right of redemption describes the real property in the complaint in a manner other than that contained in the certificate of sale or states an incorrect street address, and the description in the judgment, the description in the complaint, and the description in the certificate of sale are intended to describe the same real property, the judgment entered barring the defendant’s right to redeem bars the defendant’s interest only in the real property described in the judgment.
