Eviction may be delayed for up to a year for a terminally ill tenant if:

• The tenant has been a tenant of the landlord for at least two years;
  
• A doctor certifies that the tenant has a terminal illness;
  
• The tenant could not look for and move to a comparable new apartment without a high probability of serious medical harm;
  
• The tenant has not violated the lease; and
  
• The tenant’s lease has expired.

A court will consider any hardship to the landlord when applying this law to prohibit the eviction of a terminally ill tenant.
