10-2   RENTAL HOUSING EQUITY ORDINANCE.
Editor’s note:
   Ordinance 1995 c. 9 reaffirmed and reenacted Section 10-2 pursuant to Chapter 527 of the Acts of 1983, as well as all other sources of authority, to the extent applicable and authorized by law. Ordinance 1995 c. 9 was stricken by Ordinance 1996 c. 3 which was adopted in its stead as an amendment to Chapter X.
   Pursuant to Section 10-2 of the City of Boston Code, Chapter X, and the authority of Chapter 527 of the Acts of 1983, where a tenant has condominium conversion eviction ban status pursuant to Section 10-2 of the City of Boston Code. Chapter X, such tenant shall have the same rent increase protections that exist for a tenant under notice pursuant to Subsection 10-2.10 for the duration of such ban and pursuant to such hardship provisions for rent increases to ensure a fair net operating income as the Board may establish by regulation.
