| 1. Causes for 7-day notice of termination of tenancy. |
| Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, in the |
| event that the landlord can show, by affirmative proof, that the |
| tenant, the tenant's family or an invitee of the tenant has |
| caused substantial damage to the demised premises that the tenant |
| has not repaired or caused to be repaired before the giving of |
| the notice provided in this subsection, has caused or permitted a |
| nuisance within the premises, has caused or permitted an invitee |
| to cause the dwelling unit to become unfit for human habitation |
| or has violated or permitted a violation of the law regarding the |
| tenancy, or when the tenant is 7 days or more in arrears in the |
| payment of rent, the tenancy may be terminated by the landlord by |
| 7 days' notice in writing for that purpose given to the tenant, |
| and in the event that the landlord or the landlord's agent has |
| made at least 3 good faith efforts to serve the tenant, that |
| service may be accomplished by both mailing the notice by first |
| class mail to the tenant's last known address and by leaving the |
| notice at the tenant's last and usual place of abode. If a |
| tenant, who is 7 days or more in arrears in the payment of rent, |
| pays the full amount of rent due before the expiration of the 7- |
| day notice in writing, that notice is void. Thereafter, in all |
| residential tenancies at will, if the tenant pays all rental |
| arrears, all rent due as of the date of payment and any filing |
| fees and service of process fees actually expended by the |
| landlord before the issuance of the writ of possession as |
| provided by section 6005, then the tenancy must be reinstated and |
| no writ of possession may issue. Payment or written assurance of |
| payment through the general assistance program, as authorized by |
| the State or a municipality pursuant to Title 22, chapter 1161, |
| has the same effect as payment in cash. |
