I work with a property management company. We’ve recently had to serve a 90 notice to vacate to one of our tenants due to uninhabitability. There was a natural gas line that ran through several other units that started leaking and despite herculean efforts we were unable to locate the problem.
So today with a hail Mary attempt, the leak was found. Great news… except… we don’t really want that tenant back in, we don’t want to do anything illegal either.
Is anyone here familiar with this type of situation? Once the 90 day has been officially filed and served can/must it be stopped if the property has been made habitable again? Or can it be allowed to run it’s course?
Mods: I’m not asking for legal advise. I’m asking for opinions or someone to point to existing information. Before any decision is made on our part we will run it past an attorney.
