Plain-language change summary

The bill changed from a proposed resolution to an official emergency resolution to extend the moratorium on voluntary agreements concerning rental housing. This adjustment was made to prevent a legal gap between the expiration of previous emergency legislation and the anticipated start date of a new temporary law. By declaring an emergency, the Council aims to ensure that renters continue to have protection without interruption until the new law takes effect. This is important for maintaining stability in the housing market during the transition.
