Exhibit A-3 to Subpart E of Part 1965 - Required Clauses for Prepaid Projects Which Were Subject to Restrictive-Use Provisions Prior to the Prepayment
-
The required clauses contained in this exhibit pertain to the following multi-family projects, unless an exception to the restrictive-use provisions have been granted in accordance with this subpart:
(a) Any loan on the project obligated between December 21, 1979, and December 15, 1989, or subsequent loan not made to build or acquire new units approved on or after December 15, 1989;
(b) Any loan made subject to restrictive-use provisions as a result of a transfer, consolidation, or reamortization as set forth in this subpart;
(c) Any loan made subject to restricitive-use provisions as a result of accepting an incentive to not prepay as set forth in this subpart;
(d) Any loan previously subject to restrictive-use provisions being accelerated.
The preceding projects may only be prepaid if the title to the real property is made
subject to the following restrictive-use provisions and incorporated in the security releases. The borrower will also be required to execute the Restrictive-Use Agreement found at exhibit G-1 to this subpart. “The owner and any successors in interest agree that the housing located on this property will be used only as authorized under section 514 or 515 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and 7 CFR part 1965, subpart E, or other regulations then extant until (insert date shown on existing restrictive-use provisions). A tenant or applicant for occupancy may seek enforcement of this provision as well as the Government. During the restricted period, no eligible person occupying or wishing to occupy the housing shall be required to vacate or be denied occupancy without cause. Rents, other charges, and conditions of occupying will be set so that the effect will not differ from what would have been, had the project remained in the FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 program. The owner agrees to keep a notice posted at the project, and in a visible place available for tenant inspection, for the remainder of the restrictive-use period, stating that the project is to be used in accordance with the Housing Act, and that management practices and rental rates will be consistent with those necessary to maintain the project for (insert “low- and moderate-income” or “very low- and low-income” as shown on existing restrictive-use provisions) tenants for the remainder of the restrictive-use period.”
The provisions provide protections to the same categories of tenants who were protected while the loan(s) were in effect, to the same extent that the tenants were protected prior to the prepayment and for the length of time remaining under the restrictions prior to the prepayment.
