from all racial, ethnic and gender groups in the housing market area to the units. <br />Developer, the City shall cooperate to effectuate this provision prior to the initial renting, <br />or upon occurrence of a vacancy, and the re- renting of any Restricted Units (24 CFR <br />92.351). <br />6. Developer, its successors and assigns, shall not refuse to lease a unit to a <br />holder of a rental voucher under 24 CFR part 887 (Housing Choice Voucher Program) or <br />to a holder of a comparable document evidencing participation in a HOME tenant -based <br />assistance program because of the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such <br />certificate of family participation, rental voucher, or comparable HOME tenant -based <br />assistance document. Total rents charged to such tenants, including the tenant <br />contribution and rental assistance, shall not exceed the allowable rents as described above. <br />7. Any lease of any of the units must be for not less than one year, unless by <br />mutual agreement between the tenant and the Developer. Should the tenant and Developer <br />agree to a term of less than one year, said agreement shall be expressed in some type of <br />written form, signed by the tenant, and maintained in the tenant's rental file held by the <br />Developer. The lease may not contain any of the following provisions (in which <br />references to "owner" shall mean the Developer, its successors or assigns): <br />(a) Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment <br />in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease; <br />(b) Agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold, or sell <br />personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision <br />on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by <br />the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing Unit after <br />the tenant has moved out of the Unit. The owner may dispose of this personal property in <br />accordance with state law; <br />(c) Agreement by the tenant not to hold the owner or the owner's agent <br />legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent; <br />(d) Agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit <br />without notice to the tenant; <br />(e) Agreement by the tenant that the owner may evict the tenant or <br />household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the <br />opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties; <br />(f) Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury; <br />(g) Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal, or to <br />otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease; and <br />(h) Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs <br />even i f the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the owner against the tenant. The tenant, <br />however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. <br />4of10 <br />
