Due to the pandemic of COVID-19 declared by the Mayor effective March 11,2020, which as of the date of this Notice currently continues, a public health emergency has been declared by the Mayor of the District of Columbia, pursuant to applicable law. We understand that some tenants may be experiencing inability to pay rent as a result of the global and local efforts to contain COVID-19. For those who have been experiencing inability to pay rent as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adopted a Rent Payment Plan Program to provide temporary flexibility for paying rent that is now due and which will become due under the Lease, as explained in this Notice.

Our Payment Plan Program allows “Eligible Tenants” to enter into a written agreement with us to pay rent that becomes due during a Covered Time Period in installments as provided in that written agreement with us.

To be an Eligible Tenant, you must be a tenant of a residential or commercial retail property that has notified your landlord of inability to pay all or part of your rent due to the public health emergency.

The Covered Time Period commences on the effective date of the declaration by the Mayor of a public health emergency [in this case, March 11, 2020] and ends one year after the Mayor declares the expiration date of the public health emergency.

The rent eligible (“Eligible Rent”) for the Payment Plan Program is gross rent that comes due during the Covered Time Period and prior to cessation of your tenancy. “Rent” includes monthly rent.

The application form is available online at DCPAYMENTPLAN.EANDGGROUP.COM or by telephone at _571-488-6687_. In order to qualify for this Payment Plan Program, you must provide to us the completed application and written documentation demonstrating financial hardship resulting directly or indirectly from the public health emergency. The application for a payment plan submitted by an Eligible Tenant must demonstrate to us evidence of a financial hardship resulting directly or indirectly from the public health emergency: (a) that is in addition to any delinquency or future inability to make rental payments in existence prior to the start of the public health emergency; and (b) that would cause the tenant to be unable to qualify to rent the unit based on utilization of the same qualification criteria that were applied to the tenant at the time he or she was approved to rent the unit. The tenant must agree in writing to make payments in accordance with the payment plan.

We reserve the right to review from time to time Eligible Tenant status and compliance with the statements in the application and supporting documentation.

Your written documentation may be communicated to us via any method normally permitted under the Lease. The determination of the sufficiency of such documentation to qualify for this Payment Plan Program is solely within our discretion. We will notify you whether your request has been approved or disapproved.
