A. Notice to City. If a dwelling unit to which this chapter applies that was withdrawn from the rental market in accordance with Section 6.60.050(D)(1) is offered again for rent for residential purposes within six months of the date the dwelling unit was deemed withdrawn pursuant to this chapter, the owner must first notify the city housing manager in writing of the owner’s intention to again offer the withdrawn dwelling unit for rent or lease.

B. Right of Return and First Right of Refusal.

1. Tenants to whom this chapter applies that are provided notice of termination of a tenancy for a no-fault just cause in accordance with Sections 6.60.050(D)(1) through (4) may, within thirty days of date of the notice, provide the landlord written notice using the form provided by the city for that purpose of the tenant’s desire to consider an offer to renew the tenancy. Tenants who provide the landlord such notice shall have the first right of refusal to return to the dwelling unit if the dwelling unit is returned to the rental market by the landlord or successor landlord within six months of the time that the dwelling unit is deemed withdrawn pursuant to this chapter.

2. The offer to rent the withdrawn dwelling unit again shall be deposited by the owner in the United States mail, by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the former tenant at the address furnished to the landlord as provided in this section, and shall describe the terms of the offer to renew the tenancy in accordance with the requirements of this section. The displaced tenant shall have thirty days from the deposit of the offer in the mail to accept the offer by personal delivery or by deposit in the United States mail by registered or certified mail with postage prepaid. Tenants with a right of first refusal pursuant to this section may advise the landlord or their successor at any time a change of address to which an offer to renew a tenancy should be directed.
