98 - Conditions in Contracts for Municipal Aid.
98. Conditions in contracts for municipal aid. 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.
