above. 7. Lease Provisions. Any lease of any of the units must be for not less than one year, unless by mutual agreement between the tenant and the Developer. Should the tenant and Developer agree to a term of less than one year, said agreement shall be expressed in some type of written form, signed by the tenant, and maintained in the tenant's rental file held by the Developer. The lease may not contain any of the following provisions (in which references to "owner" shall mean the Developer, its successors or assigns): (a) Agreement by the tenant to be sued, to admit guilt, or to a judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in connection with the lease; (b) Agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold, or sell personal property of household members without notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the parties. This prohibition, however, does not apply to an agreement by the tenant concerning disposition of personal property remaining in the housing Unit after the tenant has moved out of the Unit. The owner may dispose of this personal property in accordance with state law; (c) Agreement by the tenant not to hold the owner or the owner's agent legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether intentional or negligent; (d) Agreement of the tenant that the owner may institute a lawsuit without notice to the tenant; (e) Agreement by the tenant that the owner may evict the tenant or household members without instituting a civil court proceeding in which the tenant has the opportunity to present a defense, or before a court decision on the rights of the parties; (f) Agreement by the tenant to waive any right to a trial by jury; (g) Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal, or to otherwise challenge in court, a court decision in connection with the lease; (h) Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses; or, (i) Agreement by the tenant (other than a tenant in transitional housing) to accept supportive services that are offered. 8. Lease Termination. Developer, its successors or assigns, may not terminate the tenancy or refuse to renew the lease of a tenant of rental housing assisted with CDBG funds, except for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease; for violation of applicable Federal, State, or local law; for completion of the tenancy period for transitional housing or failure to follow any required transitional housing supportive services plan; or for other good cause.
