1380. Evictions for Occupancy by Landlord or Relative

        (A)   The landlord shall specifically identify in writing in the notice of
termination and in the complaint for unlawful detainer the name(s) and relationship(s)
to the landlord of all individual(s) for whom the landlord seeks to recover possession of
the property for occupancy as a principal residence. Failure to comply with this
requirement shall constitute a defense to the eviction action and shall render the notice
of termination legally invalid.

       (B)   Inclusion of the name(s) and relationship(s) of the person(s) for whom the
landlord seeks to recover possession in the notice of termination and the complaint for
possession shall be one element to be considered in the determination of whether or
not the good faith requirement of Section 13(a)(9) has been met.

       (C)    If the individual(s), named in the notice of termination, for whom
possession was recovered under Section 13(a)(9) occupies the rental unit as
his/her/their principal place of residence for a period of less than thirty-six (36)
consecutive months following the date that the tenant vacated the unit, there shall be a
rebuttable presumption that the eviction was not in good faith.
