¶ 24. This assumption is confirmed by the specific circumstances of this development, where some of the apartments are set aside specifically for low-income residents who receive government rent subsidies. The lease itself states that certain of its clauses are required by federal and state regulation, and that its terms cannot be modified without prior approval by multiple government agencies, at least with respect to tenants in the subsidized apartments. The lease tenants signed was not tailored to their situation. It appears to be the same lease offered to low-income tenants; some terms apply only to “Section 8 Residents,” while others apply to all residents. Simply put, the tenants signed a boilerplate lease, and we can assume that there was little or no bargaining about its specific terms.
