(E) Provided, further, that subsection (a)(1) also shall not apply with respect to rent payments that initially became due during the time period between July 1, 2022, and 60 days after the date that the Mayor’s proclamation of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic ceases to be in effect, if the tenant can show inability to pay the rent because of the financial impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as set forth in subsection (a)(1)(D). Nothing in this subsection (a)(1)(E) shall relieve a tenant of the obligation to pay rent, nor restrict a landlord’s ability to recover rent due.
(F) The protections in subsections (a)(1)(D) and (a)(1)(E) shall also apply to units where the rent is controlled or regulated by the City, notwithstanding Section 37.2(r)(4), including without limitation privately-operated units controlled or regulated by the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development and/or the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. This subsection (a)(1)(F) shall apply to all such units, including but not limited to those where a notice to vacate or quit was pending as of the date that this subsection (a)(1)(F) first took effect and regardless whether the notice was served before, on, or after April 3, 2023.
(2) The tenant has violated a lawful obligation or covenant of tenancy other than the obligation to surrender possession upon proper notice or other than an obligation to pay a charge prohibited by Police Code Section 919.1, the violation was substantial, and the tenant fails to cure such violation after having received written notice thereof from the landlord.
