9-11.5 Protection from Rent Increases.
Additional costs incurred by landlords in complying with the requirements of this Section and implementing security measures additional to those already provided or required in such developments shall not be passed on to elderly or handicapped tenants of elderly/handicapped multi-family housing developments unless the landlord has exhausted all reasonable alternatives to the passing on of such costs. In pursuing such alternatives, the landlord of an elderly/handicapped multi-family housing development shall use best efforts to seek and obtain such funding, grants or donations of funds, equipment or services, as may lessen or eliminate such additional costs. Such reasonable alternatives shall also include the seeking of relief from cost-prohibitive security measures as provided for under Subsection 9-11.4(B). The costs incurred in complying with the requirements of this Section and implementing security measures additional to those already provided or required may be considered to be reasonable or necessary operating or capital expenses in any application for additional subsidy or financing from the United States, the commonwealth or any authority created under the laws thereof, as well as under Chapter 34 of the Ordinances of 1984, as amended.
