(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

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

2. No such loan shall be made by a municipality unless such owner

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.
