If it is determined by any government agency or court that the tTenant is at fault for the condition or conditions triggering the order or need to vacate under clause (i), the tTenant shall not be entitled to relocation assistance as outlined in paragraph (3) of subdivision (d). D. i. Intent to demolish or to substantially remodel the rResidential rReal pProperty. ii. I. The Owner shall provide advance notice to the tTenant of the ability to reoccupy the unit upon completion of the repairs, or if requested by the tTenant, the right of first refusal to any comparable vacant rRental uUnit which has been offered at comparable rRent owned by the Owner; and II. In the event the Owner seeks to rent the remodeled unit within six (6) months following the completion of the remodeling work, the evicted tTenant shall have the right of first refusal to reoccupy and rent the unit, unless the Owner provides a written waiver by the tTenant of their right to reoccupy the premises pursuant to this subsection. iii. For purposes of this subparagraph, “substantially remodel” means the replacement or substantial modification of any structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical system that requires a permit from a governmental agency, or the abatement of hazardous materials, including lead-based paint, mold, or asbestos, in accordance with applicable federal, State, and local laws, that cannot be reasonably accomplished in a safe manner with the tTenant in place and that requires the tTenant to vacate the rResidential rReal pProperty for at least 30 days. Cosmetic improvements alone, including painting, decorating, and minor repairs, or other work that can be performed safely without having the rResidential rReal pProperty vacated, do not qualify as a substantial remodel.
