         (b)       The department of housing preservation and development, the "supervising agency" under the provisions of the private housing finance law, shall not promulgate any regulations so as to require the mandatory relocation of any occupant or occupants due to the underutilization of a dwelling unit unless the initial lease, proprietary lease or occupancy agreement of such occupant or occupants contains a statement that the occupants may be required to move to an appropriate size dwelling unit after the initial occupancy and such statement shall not be included in any renewal lease, amended proprietary lease or amended occupancy agreement.
         §2.       This local law shall take effect immediately.
