Any landlord who serves a notice of eviction on a tenant pursuant to section 4-5-509 or 4-5-511 of this chapter shall pay to such tenant a relocation fee in accordance with the provisions of this article. Such fee shall be due and payable to such tenant whether or not such landlord actually utilizes the apartment unit for the purposes stated in the notice of eviction, unless such landlord notifies such tenant in writing of the withdrawal of the notice of eviction prior to such time as the tenant has given the landlord notice of his or her last date of occupancy, or has vacated if such notice of the last date of occupancy is not given by the tenant, and files a copy of such notice with the City Clerk within one week after serving such notice on the tenant.
