When the vendee of a land installment contract defaults in payment, forfeiture of

the interest of the vendee under the contract may be enforced only after the expiration

of thirty days from the date of the default.  A vendee in default may, prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period, avoid

the contract.  If such payments are made within the thirty-day period, forfeiture of the interest

of the vendee shall not be enforced.
