HB 1152 Foreclosure of affordable dwelling units; redevelopment & housing authority to purchase.
Introduced by: James M. Scott | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Foreclosure of affordable dwelling units. Provides a redevelopment and housing authority administering a properly established affordable dwelling unit program with the opportunity to, and exclusive right to, purchase an affordable dwelling unit at a foreclosure sale for an amount not to exceed the maximum controlled sales price of the unit. In localities that have not established a redevelopment and housing authority, the local governing body may exercise the exclusive right to purchase. Under the bill, the exclusive right to purchase would be applicable only if the affordable dwelling unit is subject to restrictive covenants recorded in the circuit court land records prior to the deed of trust proposed for the foreclosure. In addition, the covenants and applicable zoning ordinances would have to include maximum sales price limitations.
