Before a landlord issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for just cause that is a curable lease violation, the landlord shall first give notice of the violation to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation pursuant to the Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161(3). If the violation is not cured within the time period set forth in the notice, a three-day notice to quit without an opportunity to cure may thereafter be served to terminate the tenancy. D. Relocation Assistance. For a tenancy for which just cause is required to terminate the tenancy under Section 42.5(A), if the landlord issues a termination notice based on a no-fault just cause as described in Section 42.5(B)(2), the landlord shall provide relocation assistance in accordance with Section 42.6. E. Termination Void. A landlord’s failure to comply with any provision of this Section 42.5 shall render the written termination notice void. 42.6 Relocation Assistance Requirements A. Requirement for Relocation Assistance. 1. If a landlord issues a termination notice based on a no-fault just cause described in Section 42.5(B)(2) to a tenant of a rental unit covered by this Chapter, the landlord shall, regardless of the tenant’s income, at the landlord’s option, do one of the following: a. Assist the tenant to relocate by providing a direct payment to the tenant as described in subsection (3), below. b. Waive in writing the payment of rent for the final month of the tenancy, prior to the rent becoming due. 2. If a landlord issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for a no-fault just cause, the landlord shall notify the tenant of the tenant’s right to relocation assistance or rent waiver pursuant to Section 42.6. If the landlord elects to waive the rent for the final month of the tenancy as provided in Section 42.6(A)(1)(b) above, the notice shall state the amount of rent waived and that no rent is due for the final month of the tenancy. 3. The amount of relocation assistance or rent waiver shall be equal to one (1) month of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the landlord issued the notice to terminate the tenancy. Any relocation assistance under Section 42.6(A) shall be provided within 15 calendar days of service of the notice. 4. If a tenant fails to vacate after the expiration of the notice to terminate the tenancy, the actual amount of any relocation assistance or rent waiver provided pursuant to Section 42.6 shall be recoverable as damages in an action to recover possession.
