However, the lease may not provide for the payment of lease rental by the lessee or lessees until the building or buildings are complete and ready for occupancy, at which time the stipulated lease rental payments may begin.
(b) The contractor must be required under the lease to furnish to the lessor corporation a bond satisfactory to the corporation conditioned upon the final completion of the building or buildings within a period that may be provided in the contract.
