Arms Length Affadavit and Renting property back from new owner

I have a question and have googled for weeks trying to get an official opinion on this from someone who might really know. It just doesnt seem to be addressed anywhere. Here it is:

 

"Affiant further says that there are no agreements or understandings, written or implied, that will permit Seller to remain in the above mentioned property as a renter or to regain ownership of said property at anytime after the execution of this short sale transaction"

 

This is the wording in my arms length affadavit for my short sale. I know the offer that has been submitted to my lender is someone who is going to rent the property out. When the arms length affadavit was signed and also by the COE there will not be any discussion and there hasn't been and won't be any written agreement, any implication of me renting the property back.

What if I ask the question about the buyer renting back to me after the COE and they would like to do that? I see no way by reading the exact legalese of that affadavit that any violation of that ffadavit has occurred. If the lender was to pursue anything, they would be having to prove something that never happened. Is my thinking correct?

I also think it is written in a way to scare people off from doing that but to those who read it closely who have a bit of a legal mind can see that they know they have no legal recourse in the event a rental agreement truly occurs in the fashion I described. Am I corrrect or somewhat correct or not correct?

Happy New Years 2012! 

 

Has anyone sucessfully closed a short sale transaction, non-HAFA, that the lender allowed the seller to rent back from the buyer and it was fully disclosed? Like what this website is advertising:  http://www.housingangels.com/
