(1) Nothing in this part 12 requires a local government to exercise its right of first refusal set forth in section 29-4-1202 or its right of first offer set forth in section 29-4-1203 and a local government must promptly notify a residential seller of its intent not to exercise its right of first offer as set forth in section 29-4-1203 (4)(b)(II) and (6)(a)(II).

(3) Any actions of an agent working on behalf of a residential seller for purposes of this part 12 are attributable to the residential seller. Notwithstanding any other provision of this part 12 to the contrary, a political subdivision or a housing authority in the state that engages in activities to create or preserve affordable housing for an applicable qualifying property is not considered an agent working on behalf of a residential seller for purposes of this part 12.

(4) Nothing within this part 12 limits the local government's ability to condemn an applicable qualifying property acquired pursuant to this part 12 to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(5) If a local government has adopted long-term affordability requirements that are greater than the requirements set forth in this part 12, the local government's requirements apply to this part 12. Nothing in this part 12 overrides any local affordable housing laws.
