foreclosure, subject to the exercise of contractual abatement rem-
edies to assist relocation of tenants for imminent major threats 
to health and safety after written notice to and informed consent 
of the affected tenants and use of other available remedies, such

able rent levels on such properties shall be subject to the require-
ments under section 524 of MAHRAA.
