a. Tenants receiving notice under section 3 g. of P.L.1974, c. 49 may request of the landlord
within 18 full months after receipt of such notice, and the landlord shall offer to the tenant,
personally or through an agent, the rental of comparable housing or park site and a reasonable
opportunity to examine and rent such comparable housing or park site. In any proceeding under
subsection 2 k. of P.L.1974, c. 49 instituted following the expiration of notice required under
section 3 g. of P.L.1974, c. 49, the owner shall prove that a tenant was offered such comparable
housing or park site and provided such reasonable opportunity to examine and rent such housing
or park site as requested pursuant to this section. The court shall authorize 1-year stays of
eviction with reasonable rent increases until such time as the court is satisfied that the tenant has
been offered comparable housing or park site and provided a reasonable opportunity to examine
and rent such housing or park site as requested pursuant to this section. However, in no case
shall more than five such stays be granted.

b. The court shall automatically renew any 1-year stay of eviction in any case where the
landlord failed to allege to the court within 1 year of a prior stay that the tenant was offered a
reasonable opportunity to examine and rent comparable housing or park site within such prior
year.

c. However the court shall not authorize any further stays at any time after one such stay has
been authorized when the owner has also provided a tenant with hardship relocation
compensation of waiver of payment of 5 months' rent.
