apart under a decree from a court of competent jurisdiction, own a majority
interest of more than fifty percent in fee simple and/or leasehold of any real
estate property that is suitable for dwelling purposes or lands under any trust
agreement or other fiduciary arrangement in which another person holds
legal title to such land.
(2) The housing administrator may allow households with incomes up to twenty
percent greater than the income on which the maximum sales price was
based to be qualified to purchase a unit.
(3) The housing administrator may establish additional eligibility criteria in
