      shall  covenant  in  writing that so long as any part of such loan shall
      remain unpaid:
        (a) Each dwelling unit in such multiple dwelling  shall  be  available
      solely for occupancy by persons of low income;
        (b) No person who lives in such multiple dwelling at the time the loan
      is  made  shall  be  required  to  move because of the rehabilitation or
      improvement financed thereby;
        (c) All persons operating or  managing  such  multiple  dwelling  will
      permit  the duly authorized officers, employees, agents or inspectors of
      the municipality to enter in or upon and inspect such multiple  dwelling
      at all reasonable hours; and
        (d)  The  municipality  by  such  duly  authorized  representatives as
      aforesaid shall have full power to investigate into and order the  owner
      of  such multiple dwelling to furnish such reports and information as it
      may require concerning such rehabilitation or improvement and shall have
      full power to audit the  books  of  said  owner  with  respect  to  such
      matters; and
        (e)  The  owner  will  submit  to  the  supervising  agency annually a
      statement of the income and expenses of such multiple dwelling, in  such
      form as shall be approved by such agency.
        2.  No  such  loan  shall  be made by a municipality unless such owner
      executed an affidavit that he was unable to obtain  financing  for  such
      rehabilitation  or  improvement  because of the neighborhood, the age of
      the building, or other factors indicating an inability  of  the  private
      sector unaided to cause such rehabilitation or improvement to be made.
