What is the typical duration of the rental to ownership conversion process and what requirements must residents meet?

The deputy commissioner explains that the rental to ownership conversion process can take a long time.

  • For successful conversions, 80% of residents must express interest in converting
  • 80% of residents must be in good standing on rental payments
  • 80% of residents must attend mandatory training
  • If residents cannot meet these requirements, the conversion timeline gets extended

And actually, sorry, one more question.
1:14:19
How long does that process generally last?
1:14:22
Are we talking about a 2 to 3 year process?
1:14:25
Getting the tons involved?
Kim Darga
1:14:26
Heard.
1:14:27
Yeah.
1:14:27
It can take a really long time.
1:14:29
I mean, I think one of the challenges is that we don't want it to drive out.
1:14:33
Right?
1:14:35
There are we think good practices when you have a rental property that is looking to convert.
1:14:42
And these practices we have used in some of the programs I've mentioned, so in the affordable neighborhood cooperative program and TPT tenant petition.
1:14:51
We 80% of the residents have to be interested.
1:14:54
In converting.
1:14:56
80% of the residents have to be in good standing on their rental payments.
1:15:02
And we need 80% of the residents to attend training.
1:15:07
So there are some breast practices that we've used sometimes residents are not able to meet those requirements, and so it can take a long period of time depending on how much buy in and how much residents are able to comply with that requirement.

Alright.
