MINOR
This revision updates the bill number from H.D. 1 to H.D. 2 and adjusts the timeline for filing eviction lawsuits. The most significant change is extending the waiting period after a tenant receives a notice from 20 calendar days to 30 calendar days before a landlord can file for summary possession, provided the tenant attends mediation. This gives tenants more time to resolve disputes through mediation before facing eviction proceedings.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on residential landlord-tenant disputes, but the applicability of the waiting period has been broadened to allow for a longer mediation window.
TIMELINE
Extended the mandatory waiting period before filing an eviction lawsuit from 20 calendar days to 30 calendar days after the tenant receives the notice, assuming the tenant attends mediation.
REQUIREMENT
Removed the requirement that landlords must delay filing if a tenant 'attempts to schedule' mediation; the delay now applies only if the tenant actually schedules a mediation session.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header and metadata to reflect the new version number (H.D. 2) and revised dates.
