This is a gray area. You can not remove any fixtures (and that would be the shed but not necessarily the swing set; it depends) once title has transferred. But you still own your home as of now. Could the lender come after you for destroying property? Not until they own it. Try going to a mortgage help center and seeing about modification or refinance. There are many options today. Even a deed in lieu of foreclosure and have them waive the deficiency or there will be a judgement against you. Good luck.
