Landlord sends over workers to make repairs its deems necessary for the sale, lists the property, the realtor installs a lockbox and starts showing house. Tenants did not request for any repair work. Tenants cooperated, at first, but they started to push back because the intrusions became so great and interfered with their lives. Landlord’s attorney then sends the standard 10-day notice to comply or vacate and threatening a damage claim for interfering with any potential sale. A second 10-day notice was sent, because of continued resistance from Tenants, which now includes the 60 day notice of intent to sell. No affidavit of any kind is attached to either notice. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Tenants are current in their rent payments.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Forgetting State landlord-tenant law violations for now, it appears the Landlord and its agents are intentionally violating at least two directives of Proclamation 20-19.3, ie, the first bullet point prohibiting serving a notice to comply or vacate, and the second bullet, threatening to seek eviction orders. </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">The question is what action should the Tenants take? Does the Governor’s Office or the Attorney General have people monitoring Landlord’s compliance with the moratorium that the Tenants can contact?
