Section 51068 Of Chapter 4. General Powers From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 31. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 4.
51068
. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) and
notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 711, 711.5, and 1916.5 of
the Civil Code, the agency shall not permit assumption of the
obligation of any mortgage loan made pursuant to Chapter 5
(commencing with Section 51100) by a subsequent ineligible purchaser
or transferee of the prior borrower. If the subsequent purchaser or
transferee does not meet the agency's eligibility requirements, the
agency shall require acceleration of repayment of the principal
balance of the loan to be all due and payable upon the sale or
transfer of the property.
(b) With respect to mortgage loans made prior to July 1, 1979, the
agency may waive the requirements of subdivision (a) when necessary
to permit participation in mortgage insurance, guarantee, or purchase
programs, or when the provisions of subdivision (a) would interfere
with the financial structuring or the administration of any bond
financing program.
(c) The requirements of subdivision (a) may be waived pursuant to
subdivision (b) with respect to any mortgage loan made on or after
July 1, 1979, only if the loan is federally assisted or insured and
the waiver is necessary to obtain the federal assistance or
insurance. As a condition to authorizing assumption of a mortgage
loan pursuant to this subdivision, the agency shall recast the
repayment schedule for the remainder of the term of the loan by
increasing the interest to the current market rate at the time of
assumption, or to any lower rate of interest which is the maximum
allowed by an entity that provided any insurance or other assistance
with respect to which a waiver was granted pursuant to this
subdivision. Any additional increment of interest produced by
increasing the rate of interest upon a mortgage loan pursuant to this
subdivision shall be transmitted or forwarded to the agency for
deposit in the California Housing Finance Fund.
(d) The agency may also waive the requirements of subdivision (a)
if it determines that its application would result in undue hardship,
that the failure to meet the agency's eligibility requirements
resulted from circumstances beyond the mortgagor's control, and if
the waiver is for a limited period of time as specified by the
agency.
(e) The agency shall implement appropriate measures to assure
compliance with this section.
(f) This section applies to all mortgage loans made by the agency
pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 51100), whether
directly or through a qualified mortgage lender, and including
mortgage loans made prior to September 22, 1979.
