House Amendment No. 1
Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Condominium Property Act. Provides that if a building owner gives a tenant a notice of non-renewal of his or her lease, the tenant permanently vacates the leased premises as a direct result of the notice of non-renewal, and the owner converts the unit to condominium property by filing a declaration submitting the property to the Act without providing the required notice, then the owner is liable to the tenant for: the tenant's actual moving expenses, not to exceed $1500; 3 months' rent at the subject property; and reasonable attorney's fees and court costs. Provides that there is also available to the tenant injunctive relief to enforce the condominium conversion notice provisions.
