So, to make your legislation, connect the dots for me. How does this save rentals . Or affordable what are we trying to do here . According to this incentive for units to be demolished or merged and converted. One of the ways is if there has been a nofault eviction or there is a disincentive, you cant evict a tenant because youre not going to be able to actually make a conversion of the building or merge units in the building or demolish the building in the future.
