ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT OF CONSENT ORDER
On, __________ I received a copy of and have read the following summary of the Consent Order entered by the federal district court in United States v. Allan Rappuhn, et al. (N.D. Ala.) and have had all of my questions concerning the Consent Order and the Fair Housing Act answered to my satisfaction.
On ________________, 2016, the United States filed a consent order resolving allegations that the developers and owners of multifamily housing developments violated the federal Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) by failing to include certain accessibility features for persons with disabilities in such developments. The FHA is a federal law that prohibits discrimination in the rental and sale of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, disability, sex, and familial status. Specifically with regard to accessibility, the FHA provides:
- For residential buildings with an elevator consisting of four or more dwelling units, all units that are designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, are “covered multifamily dwellings” and must include certain basic features of accessible and adaptive design to make such units accessible to or adaptable for use by a person who has or develops a disability.
- For non-elevator residential buildings with four or more dwelling units, all ground-floor units that are designed and constructed for first occupancy after March 13, 1991, are “covered multifamily dwellings” and must include certain basic features of accessible and adaptive design to make such units accessible to or adaptable for use by a person who has or develops a disability.
- The accessible and adaptive design provisions of the FHA require that for covered multifamily dwellings: (i) the public use and common use portions of such dwellings are readily accessible to and usable by persons with a disability; (ii) all the doors designed to allow passage into and within all premises within such dwellings are sufficiently wide to allow passage by persons with a disability using wheelchairs; (iii) all premises within such dwellings contain the following features of adaptive design: (I) an accessible route into and through the dwelling; (II) light switches, electrical outlets, thermostats, and other environmental controls in accessible locations; (III) reinforcements in bathroom walls to allow later installation of grab bars; and (IV) usable kitchens and bathrooms such that an individual using a wheelchair can maneuver about the space.
The consent order, which resolves the United States’ lawsuit, was entered as an order of the United States Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The consent order requires that the Defendants undertake several steps to ensure compliance with the Fair Housing Act and to compensate residents who were affected by these policies. The consent order requires the following:
- Defendants must comply with the Fair Housing Act in the future.
- Defendants must perform retrofits at the developments to increase accessibility for persons with disabilities.
- Defendants must pay monetary damages totaling $300,000.00 to compensate individuals who were allegedly affected by the Defendants’ policies and actions.
- Defendants must pay a civil penalty of $50,000.00 to the United States.
- Defendants must keep certain records and regularly report to the United States for a period of four years.
- The United States Department of Justice will continue to monitor the Defendants to ensure that they comply with the Fair Housing Act.

NOTICE OF RETROFITS TO PUBLIC AND COMMON USE AREAS AT [SUBJECT PROPERTY]
The federal Fair Housing Act requires that the public and common use areas at complexes such as [SUBJECT PROPERTY] have certain features of physical accessibility for persons with disabilities.
As a result of recent events, it has been brought to our attention that certain features of the public and common areas of [SUBJECT PROPERTY] can be modified to provide greater accessibility for persons with disabilities, consistent with the accessibility requirements of the federal Fair Housing Act. We welcome persons with disabilities residents and guests at [SUBJECT PROPERTY]. We are writing this notice to let you know that beginning on ____________, 2016, contractors will be coming onto the property to begin the process of modifying certain aspects of the public and common use areas. We expect the process to last approximately ______ weeks, weather permitting.
Generally, the workers will modify or “retrofit” certain sidewalks, install curb cuts and ramps or modify existing ones along certain pathways to certain ground-floor units. They will also be making some modifications to the leasing office and laundry facility, as well as to other areas, to make them more accessible to persons with disabilities. We apologize for any inconveniences you may incur as a result of this work.

ACCESS AGREEMENT
This Access Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated December ___, 201_, is made by and between Gateway Properties, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (“Gateway”), and ____________________, a[n] ________________ (the “Property Partnership”).
R E C I T A L S:
Gateway, along with certain of its affiliates, including Allan Rappuhn, is a party to that certain Consent Order with the United States (the “Consent Order”) relating to settlement and dismissal of that action filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama on September 30, 2015, Case No. 2:15-CV-01725-TMP (the “Lawsuit”) by the United States. The Lawsuit and the Consent Order relate to _____________________ Apartments (the “Project”) but does not name the Property Partnership as a defendant. Nevertheless, the Lawsuit sought certain damages and retrofits to the Project to remediate alleged non-compliance of the Project with requirements of the Fair Housing Act (the “FHA”) and the Americans With Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Gateway, in connection with the Consent Order, has agreed, among other things, to establish a settlement fund and to pay a civil penalty to resolve the matter. The Property Partnership has no responsibility therefor. The Consent Order also contemplates retrofits to certain physical features of the Project, including public and common use areas of the Project and to unit interiors. Gateway is willing to coordinate actions, on behalf of the Property Partnership, to effect such retrofits. The United States desires access to the elements for purposes of evaluating needed steps at the Project to comply with the FHA and the ADA. The Property Partnership is desirous of the Project complying in all respects with the FHA and the ADA.
A G R E E M E N T:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:
1.The Property Partnership hereby agrees to permit access to the public and common use areas of the Project and to the unit interiors at the Project to the United States, Gateway and their respective agents, contractors, counsel and representatives, including Gateway Management Company, LLC, for the purpose of planning, evaluating and performing any action required under the Consent Order to retrofit elements in the public and common use areas and the unit interiors as required therein.
2.The Property Partnership hereby authorizes Gateway to undertake, on behalf of the Property Partnership, such actions as Gateway, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary or convenient in order to effect compliance by the Project with the Consent Order and perform the retrofits, and obtain approval thereof by the United States. The Property Partnership will cooperate with Gateway in the execution of any and all further agreements, instruments and documents necessary or convenient to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
3.The Property Partnership hereby specifically grants to the United States, upon reasonable prior written notice, access to the public and common use areas of the Project and to unit interiors (subject to the rights of tenants at law and under applicable lease terms) at the Project for all purposes contemplated by the Consent Order.
4.Gateway agrees to provide the Property Partnership with periodic updates regarding the status of surveys, inspections and performance of retrofits at the Project and to respond promptly to reasonable inquiries received from the Property Partnership with respect to actions and steps taken by Gateway under the Consent Order with respect to the Project. Gateway shall perform its coordinating services hereunder at its sole cost and expense and shall not incur expenses on behalf of the Property Partnership except in a manner consistent with budgets established in consultation with the Property Partnership therefor or with reasonable prior notice to the Property Partnership.
5.The Property Partnership hereby agrees to cooperate with Gateway in seeking to fund the cost of any surveys, inspections and retrofit costs, including architect’s and contractor’s fees, from available replacement reserves or similar reserve funds of the Property Partnership, including obtaining approval therefor from lenders, partners and governmental authorities. To the extent that any such funds are not reasonably available, and the Property Partnership does not otherwise have sufficient cash flow, after meeting operating expenses and debt service and maintaining reasonable operating reserves, to fund such expenses, Gateway agrees to make loans on an interest-free, unsecured basis to the Property Partnership or the general partner thereof to fund such expenses and capital costs. Any such amount shall be repayable out of cash flow as and when available after payment of operating expenses, debt service and required reserves, but prior to distributions (unless such distribution is to the general partner in order to facilitate repayment of the loan to it by Gateway).
6.Gateway hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Property Partnership from and against all liability and loss arising from any wrongful or tortious conduct by Gateway, its affiliates or any contractor or vendor engaged by Gateway on behalf of the Property Partnership in connection with the performance or evaluation of the retrofits. Neither Gateway nor any of its affiliates shall have any liability or obligation to the Property Partnership or to any other person with respect to the existing compliance or non-compliance of the Project with applicable laws and Gateway makes no representation that any retrofits shall in the future be found in compliance with the FHA or the ADA, except that Gateway represents that such retrofits shall, upon their final completion, be deemed compliant by the United States Department of Justice under the Consent Order with the FHA, the Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines, the ADA, the ADA Standards and UFAS (all as defined in the Consent Order).
7.Gateway and the Property Partnership each hereby releases and remises the other, and their respective affiliates, officers, partners, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants and contractors, from any and all liability or obligation to the other relating to the alleged non-compliance by the Project with the FHA and the ADA.
8.This Agreement, unless otherwise earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the parties, shall continue until the earlier of the completion of all retrofits to the Project and the acceptance thereof by the United States or the expiration of the term of the Consent Order; provided that, the foregoing shall not be deemed to affect or impair any obligation for the repayment of money owed by the Property Partnership or its general partner to Gateway as contemplated hereby, which obligation shall, if requested by Gateway, be evidenced by a separate promissory note.
9.Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed by either Gateway or the Property Partnership as any admission of any violation or non-compliance in any respect by the Project with applicable law, including the FHA and the ADA.
10.There are no third party beneficiaries of this Agreement except the United States with respect to paragraph 3. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
11.This is the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that, nothing herein shall alter or impair any of the rights and obligations of the parties under any management agreement between Gateway Management Company, LLC and the Property Partnership.
