12 U.S.C. § 1701z–12 — Housing access
submitted 48 years ago by Pub. L. 95-557 to r/title-12-BANKS-AND-BANKING · 92 words · no verdicts yet
This section protects people who hold a housing certificate of eligibility. A purchaser of a qualifying HUD-owned project may not unreasonably refuse to rent an available unit to such a certificate holder solely because the person holds the certificate.
The Secretary must require every purchaser of a multifamily housing project owned by the Secretary and sold on or after October 1, 1978, to agree not to unreasonably refuse to lease a vacant unit to a person* who holds a certificate of eligibility under section 1437f of title 42. This applies when the unit’s rent is no more than the fair-market rent for a comparable area unit, as the Secretary determines under that section. The purchaser may not refuse solely because the prospective tenant holds the certificate.
The Secretary shall require any purchaser of a multifamily housing project owned by the Secretary which is sold on or after October 1, 1978, to agree not to refuse unreasonably to lease a vacant dwelling unit in the project which rents for an amount not greater than the fair market rent for a comparable unit in the area as determined by the Secretary under section 1437f of title 42 to a holder of a certificate of eligibility under that section solely because of such prospective tenant’s status as a certificate holder.
