Utah Owner-Occupied Retention Agreement
Understanding this form
An Owner-Occupied Retention Agreement is a legal document used when a member of a bank provides a subsidy for purchasing or rehabilitating an owner-occupied property. This agreement ensures that any grants or financial assistance are repaid if the property is sold or refinanced before the stipulated retention period ends. It serves to protect the financial interests of both the bank and the owner by specifying conditions under which the subsidy must be repaid, differentiating it from standard property agreements by its focus on affordability programs and compliance with housing regulations.
Key components of this form
- The Subsidy: Details the amount of the subsidy provided for the purchase or rehabilitation of the property.
- Retention Period: Specifies the duration during which the owner must comply with the terms of the agreement.
- Owner's Representations: Outlines the owner's responsibilities regarding the use of the subsidy and notification of property sales or refinancing.
- Bank's Right to Repayment: Describes the conditions under which the bank can claim a portion of the subsidy if the property is sold or refinanced prematurely.
- Events of Non-Repayment: Lists scenarios where the owner is exempt from repaying any part of the subsidy.
