| If Until the owner decides to bring brings any residential |
dwelling or premises into compliance with this Act while a tenant |
is occupying a dwelling unit, the owner shall move the tenant to |
a substitute dwelling unit upon reasonable notice. The |
department may, on a case-by-case basis, waive this requirement |
if the department determines that the implementation of interim |
controls sufficiently protects the residents of the unit until |
full abatement is achieved. The owner shall pay reasonable |
moving expenses and any use and occupancy charges for a |
substitute dwelling unit that exceed the rent for the vacated |
dwelling unit for which the tenant remains responsible. |
"Substitute dwelling unit" means a dwelling unit of like or |
similar accommodation and in like or similar location that is |
lead-safe. If the tenant fails to accept the substitute dwelling |
unit selected by the owner while the owner is required to bring |
the vacated dwelling unit into compliance with this Act or the |
tenant fails to remain current in rent pursuant to the lease or |
tenancy at will under Title 14, section 6002, including the |
statutory period of right to cure, the owner is not obligated |
beyond 10 days after completion of remediation to reimburse the |
tenant for any expense or inconvenience other than moving |
expenses and any use and occupancy charges for the substitute |
dwelling unit selected by the owner that exceed the rent for the |
vacated dwelling unit. |
