Even if that statutory tenancy is deemed to fall within the coverage of the impairment clause, however, we have no doubt that its extension, beyond the eight years already provided in the Anti-Eviction Act, is not “substantial.” Most eligible tenants *298are by definition 62 years of age at the date of the conversion (or, if surviving spouses, 50 years of age). These tenants would be 70 years of age (or, if surviving spouses, 58 years of age) at the conclusion of the eight-year Anti-Eviction period. During any addition to this period, the owner is entitled to rent increases authorized under local law, here six and one-half percent per year. The owner may still evict for the other reasons enumerated in note 1, supra. The extended tenancy ends if the tenant ceases to make the unit the principal residence. Under these conditions, if the Act constitutes an impairment at all, it is not a “substantial” one.9 2. Legitimacy and Reasonableness of Public Purpose
