<div dir="ltr">I agree with Gwendolyn. I cannot see HOW these programs can force you to agree to a total blanket protection for the tenant not to be evicted for 6 months. If there are behavioral problems, hopefully those are thoroughly documented with proper notices being sent out so it doesn't appear to be a "surprise" or the pay or vacate process used as an alternative method to eviction for behavioral issues. <br><p class="ri_default_signature"><i>Sent with <a href="https://www.rightinbox.com/?utm_source=signature" style="color:#a0d469">Right Inbox</a></i></p><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Mar 30, 2022 at 12:36 PM Gwendolyn Cornwell <<a href="mailto:Gwendolyn@glgmail.com">Gwendolyn@glgmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">14-Day Notice was served along with all the proper ERPP notices. Tenant went to Community Action and qualified for rent assistance. LL was emailed the usual rent assistance form, offering to pay back rent (1 month that was in arrears) and
up through June, in return for LL not evicting for 6 months, etc., etc. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The history of problems with tenant results in LL just wanting tenant out. Assuming LL receives a certificate of completion from the ERPP, can LL just refuse/ignore the repayment plan and move forward with eviction? Would the tenant’s potential
defense that they had rent assistance ready and available cause any problems? <u></u>
