(11) A warning in bold typeface print that says: "If
mediation is not scheduled within fifteen calendar days after receipt of the
notice, regardless of whether the scheduled mediation session occurs within the
fifteen-calendar-day period, then the landlord may file an action for summary
possession after the expiration of the fifteen-calendar-day period. If
mediation is scheduled before the expiration of the fifteen-calendar-day
period, regardless of whether the scheduled mediation session occurs within the
fifteen calendar days, then the landlord shall only file an action for summary
possession after the expiration of thirty calendar days following the tenant's
receipt of the fifteen-calendar-day notice. If the tenant cancels the
scheduled mediation or does not appear at the scheduled mediation, the landlord
may file the summary possession action immediately and shall not be required to
wait for the expiration of the thirty calendar days. If the
fifteen-calendar-day notice was mailed, receipt of notice shall be deemed to be
two days after the date of the postmark. If the fifteen-calendar-day notice
was posted on the premises, receipt of notice shall be deemed to be the date of
posting. If an agreement is reached before the filing of an action for summary
possession, whether through mediation or otherwise, then the landlord shall not
bring an action for summary possession against the tenant, except as provided
in any agreement that may be reached. The landlord shall be required to note
the status of the mediation or settlement effort and proof of sending or
posting the fifteen-calendar-day notice to the mediation center in the action
for summary possession.";
