# §891.530. Prepayment privileges.

- (a) The prepayment (whether in whole or in part) or the assignment or transfer of physical and financial assets of any [Section 202](/cfr/24/202.md) project is prohibited, unless the Secretary gives prior written approval.
- (b) The Secretary may not grant approval unless he or she has determined that the prepayment or transfer of the loan is part of a transaction that will ensure the continued operation of the project, until the original maturity date of the loan, in a manner that will provide rental housing for the elderly and handicapped on terms at least as advantageous to existing and future tenants as the terms required by the original [Section 202](/cfr/24/202.md) loan agreement and any other loan agreements entered into under other provisions of law.
