the nonpayment of rent. These protections extend for 120 days
       from enactment (March 27, 2020).
              Section 4024(c) requires landlords of the same properties to
       provide tenants at least 30 days-notice before they must vacate the
       property. It also bars those landlords from issuing a notice to
       vacate during the 120-day period. In contrast to the eviction and
       late fee protections of Section 4024(b), which are expressly limited
       to nonpayment, Section 4024(c) does not expressly tie the notice to
       vacate requirement to a particular cause. Thus, Section 4024(c)
       arguably prohibits landlords from being able to force a tenant to
       vacate a covered dwelling for nonpayment or any other reason until
       after August 24, 2020 (i.e., 120 days after enactment, plus 30 days
       after notice is provided).
              Section 4024(b)’s and (c)’s protections, however, do not
       absolve tenants of their legal responsibilities to pay rent. Tenants
       who do not pay rent during the eviction grace period may still face
       financial and legal liabilities, including eviction, after the moratorium
       ends.
