Section 987.93.

Where the property consists of a cooperative dwelling unit:

(a) The purchaser's right to occupy the property under its contract with the department shall not be subject to consent or approval by the stock cooperative, as defined in subdivision (m) of Section 1351 of the Civil Code, nor shall there be any fee or surcharge imposed by the stock cooperative as a result of the right of occupancy, provided that the foregoing shall not affect the rights that the stock cooperative may have under the applicable cooperative dwelling unit ownership documents to approve the initial acquisition of the cooperative dwelling unit by the department on behalf of the purchaser.

(b) As a condition to taking title to a cooperative dwelling unit, the department shall require that the stock cooperative enter into an agreement directly with the department, which agreement shall be in a form established by the department and shall provide for such matters as the department may determine relating to (1) the enforcement by the stock cooperative of its rights in the event that the purchaser defaults under the cooperative dwelling unit ownership documents, (2) the enforcement by the department of its rights in the event the purchaser defaults under its contract with the department, and (3) such other matters as the department may determine to be necessary to reasonably protect its interest in the property.
