AMENDMENT TO SENATE BILL 2124 




2
    AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2124, on page 2, by 
3
replacing lines 1 through 6 with the following:

 
4
    "(c) No complaint shall be filed under this Article against 
5
a person who occupies  a single family residence, apartment, 
6
condominium unit, or dwelling unit before January 1, 2010, if 
7
the person  is lawfully in possession and has paid the  current 
8
month's  rent and the only default that the complaint would 
9
allege is overdue rent. However, this subsection (c) does not 
10
bar the filing of a complaint for overdue rent or for 
11
possession based on grounds other than overdue rent.  If a 
12
complaint for possession alleges grounds other than or  in 
13
addition to overdue rent, the action proceeds to judgment,   and 
14
the judgment only finds overdue rent as a basis for possession, 
15
the court shall provide the defendant   with an opportunity to 
16
pay the current month's rent and remain in possession; if the 
17
defendant   pays the current month's rent, the court shall stay
