ARTICLE I
SEC. 151.06. AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENTS
With respect to an eviction or termination of tenancy based on one or more of the grounds described in Section 151.09 A3 or A4, the maximum rent or maximum adjusted rent may be increased to any amount upon the re-rental of the rental unit only in those cases where 1) the notice of intent to terminate tenancy is served on the tenant by the landlord prior to the City Attorney commencing a court action against him or her pursuant to Section 47.50 of this Code; and 2) the eviction or termination of tenancy is based upon information provided by a law enforcement agency or prosecution agency that the tenant is committing or permitting to exist any drug-related nuisance, illegal drug activity or gang-related crime as those terms are defined in Section 47.50 A of this Code. Thereafter, so long as the rental unit continues to be rented to one or more of the same persons, no other rent increase shall be imposed pursuant to this subsection. (Paragraph Added by Ord. No. 171,442, Eff. 1/19/97.)

when such contract was cancelled or not renewed by the landlord;
2. The vacation of a rental unit by a tenant as a result of a landlord giving notice of intent to terminate tenancy on any ground other than those set forth in Section 151.09 A1, A2 or A9 of this chapter, or the landlord creating an unreasonable interference with the tenant’s comfort, safety, or enjoyment of the rental unit;
3. If a rental unit is vacated as a result of an eviction or termination of tenancy based on the grounds described in Section 151.09 A9 and a re-rental certificate is not granted as provided in Section 151.07 A7. (Amended by Ord. No. 165,251, Eff. 11/20/89.)
4. If the tenant voluntarily vacating the rental unit was the next tenant after an eviction pursuant to Section 151.09 A8; or

6. If the rental unit is the subject of a notice of noncompliance sent
