Special Cateaorv Tenants In addition to the Tenant Survey Report Questionnaire, the Applicant (through the Housing Counselor) will request that special category tenants who want to qualify for the benefits due them fill out an Application for Recognition as a Special Category Tenant form. The application is necessary to determine a tenant's eligibility as a special category tenant who will be eligible to receive benefits provided by the Eugene Code. Tenants must fill out this application to be considered as a special category tenant. PURCHASER PROTECTIONS Purchasers of condominium units are protected by the Eugene Code in the following ways: 1. The Applicant may establish a replacement reserve account for the unit owners' association. This reserve account must be based on the required architect's and engineer's report described below. 2. The purchaser is strongly encouraged to obtain a pre-purchase inspection in order to determine the condition of the unit prior to sale. A common elements report will be prepared by a reserve specialist or other professional acceptable to the City. This report is to be made available to purchasers prior to sales. In addition, the Applicant is required to make available to purchasers copies of issued condominium instruments, documents required by the State of Oregon, such as the Declaration of Unit Ownership, bylaws of the unit owners' association, and the State disclosure report. The Applicant must request that purchasers sign receipts as proof to the City that purchasers have been given the opportunity to review these documents prior to the sale of the unit. INFORMATION REQUESTED BY ALL PURCHASERS To comply with the Eugene Code, the Applicant must survey the purchasers using the Purchaser Information Report Survey form provided by the City. The survey asks whether the purchaser was previously an owner or renter. The City will be responsible for tabulating this information for use in determining the effects of conversions on the rental housing stock in Eugene.
