(a) A sponsor shall not sell, assign, transfer, or convey a rental housing development, or any interest therein or portion thereof, without the express prior written approval of the department. A sale, transfer, or conveyance shall be approved only if all of the following requirements are met:

(1) the existing sponsor is in compliance with the Regulatory Agreement or the sale, transfer, or conveyance will result in the cure of any existing violations;

(2) the successor-in-interest to the sponsor agrees to assume all obligations of the existing sponsor pursuant to the Regulatory Agreement and this program;

(3) the successor-in-interest is an eligible sponsor pursuant to section 8113 and demonstrates to the department's satisfaction that it can successfully own and operate the rental housing development and comply with all program requirements; and

(4) no terms of the sale, transfer, or conveyance jeopardize either the department's security or the successor's ability to comply with all program requirements.

(b) The department's approval of sale, assignment, transfer, or conveyance subject to such terms and conditions as may be necessary to preserve or establish the fiscal integrity of the project. Such conditions shall include:

(1) the deposit of sales proceeds, or a portion thereof, to maintain required reserves, or to offset negative cash flow;

(2) the recapture of syndication proceeds or other funds in accordance with special conditions included in the Standard Agreement or any other agreement executed by the sponsor; and
