Section 98. Conditions in contracts for municipal aid  


Latest version.
  • In every contract
      for  a  loan  by  a  municipality  or  for  periodic  subsidies   by   a
      municipality,  or both, a substantial breach of the conditions set forth
      therein providing for the maintenance of the project as low rent housing
      shall be defined in such terms as the municipality shall deem to  be  in
      the  public  interest and consistent with the provisions and purposes of
      this chapter. In any such contract the  municipality  shall  retain  the
      right,  in  the  event  of  such a substantial breach or in the event of
      acquisition of title to the project by  a  third  party,  other  than  a
      government  authorized  to  engage  in  the  administration  of low rent
      housing, and approved by the municipality, in  any  manner  including  a
      bona  fide  foreclosure  under  a mortgage or other lien held by a third
      party, to increase the interest payable thereafter on the unpaid balance
      of any loan made pursuant to the contract, to a rate not  in  excess  of
      the  going rate of interest (at the time of such breach or acquisition),
      plus two per centum per annum or to declare any such unpaid balance  due
      forthwith  and  to  reduce  or  terminate any periodic subsidies payable
      under the contract.
