5. Owner/Landlord Certification
If this application is funded the Owner/Landlord agree that:
1. The settlement amount will be the Tenant’s total obligation for rent, late fees, court costs, and other charges (recognizing that, if
the CERA payment includes prospective rent, that payment might surpass the Tenant’s present financial obligation). The
settlement amount shall not include and the Landlord/Owner waives any late fees assessed after March 13, 2020 in excess of
$400 and any court costs in excess of $150.
2. When the CERA payment will not fully satisfy Tenant’s financial obligation to Owner/Landlord and the settlement includes an
installment repayment plan, if Tenant is performing that plan’s repayment terms, which performance Owner/Landlord will
cooperate with, Owner/Landlord will not take steps to evict Tenant for non-payment of the rent (or any other charges) that plan
covers.
3. It will waive any other present and known grounds for eviction against Tenant other than its nonpayment of rent claim or a claim
based on a serious and continuing violation of the lease or law.
4. Except for grounds permitted by #3 above, or in MCL 600.5714(1)(b), (c)(i), (d), (e), or (f), or MCL 600.5775, Owner/Landlord will
not take steps to terminate a tenancy anytime before 1 month after a CERA payment, or, if a CERA payment covers a period of
prospective rent, until at least 1 month after that period.
5. It has not received any other eviction diversion or rental assistance payments for this same arrearage for this Tenant.
