Title:
Ordinance amending the Administrative Code regarding owner and relative move-in (“OMI”) evictions
to require a landlord seeking to recover possession of a unit for an OMI to provide the tenant with an
approved form to advise the Rent Board of address changes; clarify the evidentiary standard for
finding that an OMI was performed in good faith; require a landlord to file documentation with the Rent
Board regarding the status of the OMI, with a penalty for not filing such documentation, and requiring
the Rent Board to transmit a random sampling of such documentation to the District Attorney; extend
from three to five years the time period after an OMI during which a landlord who intends to re-rent the
unit must first offer the unit to the displaced tenant; and authorize a tenant who has been charged
excess rent within five years after an OMI to sue for treble damages; and, as to matters not limited to
OMI evictions, provide that a tenant waiver of rights in a buyout agreement is not enforceable if the
buyout is not timely filed with the Rent Board; extend from one to three years the statute of limitations
for wrongful eviction claims; authorize interested non-profit organizations to sue for wrongful eviction
and collection of excess rent; and making clarifying changes.
