text: Regarding "...staying three months rent-free...."  I think that is inaccurate in that even if HB 2004 becomes law, landlords may still use 72/144 hour notices to terminate tenancies for non-payment of rent.  This usually means a tenant can stay about one month rent free while all of the notices and hearings wind through the process; assuming that the landlord does not make a clerical error on any of the paperwork.
