MCDA’s eight month delay in acting upon the termination notice was for Powell’s benefit. She continued to have the right to rent for a modest sum under $40.00 per month. If, at any time after receiving the notice of termination, Powell had explained she had stopped making payments because she had lost her job and could no longer afford a $50 per month payment in addition to her rent, it is clear MCDA would have considered renegotiating the payments to a more affordable figure. Only after it became evident that Powell was not going to make payments on her arrearage did MCDA proceed with the eviction. MCDA should not be punished for its forbearance.
