On page 11, line 4, after "chapter" insert ";

(m) The tenant continues in possession after having received a 60-day notice to quit for other good cause prior to the termination of the period or rental agreement and such cause constitutes a legitimate economic or business reason not covered or related to a basis for termination enumerated under this subsection. Where the landlord relies on this basis for termination of the tenancy, the court may stay any writ of restitution for up to 60 additional days for good cause shown, including difficulty procuring alternative housing. The court shall condition such a stay upon the tenant's continued payment of rent during the stay period. Upon granting such a stay, the court shall award court costs and fees as allowed under this chapter"

EFFECT:  Provides that receipt of a 60-day notice to quit for other good cause prior to the end of the tenancy, where such cause constitutes a legitimate economic or business reason not otherwise enumerated, is cause for eviction or termination.
