(r)(1) The court may stay any proceeding adjudicating a claim brought by a housing provider to recover possession of a rental unit for nonpayment of rent if a tenant submits documentation to the court demonstrating that he or she has a pending Emergency Rental Assistance Program ("ERAP") application; provided, that the court may stay a proceeding under this subsection only once during the pendency of the case.
(2) Paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not be construed to limit a court's discretion to extend a stay.
(3) When an eviction based solely on a claim for nonpayment of rent has been authorized by the court and the tenant notifies the housing provider, no later than 48 hours prior to the scheduled date and time of the eviction, that the tenant has an approved ERAP application that would pay the full amount necessary to redeem the tenancy, the housing provider shall cancel the eviction. If the housing provider then reschedules the eviction, the housing provider shall reschedule the eviction for a date no sooner than 3 weeks from the earlier-scheduled eviction date.
(4) A housing provider that cancels an eviction under paragraph (3) of this subsection shall have leave to file an alias writ ("writ"), and no further leave of court shall be required for the next-requested issuance of a writ following the cancellation of the originally scheduled eviction. This paragraph shall not apply if a judgment is permanently stayed by a tenant's redemption of a tenancy.
