Third party rights.

(a) The right of a third party to purchase an accommodation is conditional upon exercise of tenant rights under this subchapter . The time periods for negotiation of a contract of sale and for settlement under this subchapter are minimum periods, and the owner may afford the tenants a reasonable extension of such period, without liability under a third-party contract. (b) Third parties and their agents shall not interfere with the tenants' right to organize or otherwise exercise their rights under this subchapter . Third parties may negotiate with tenants for the assignment or waiver of rights pursuant to § 42-3404.06 ; provided, that the third party first discloses: (1) Their identity and that they are interested in purchasing the accommodation; (2) That they are not tenant organizers, as defined in § 42-3505.06(a)(2) , and do not represent the interests of the tenants; and (3) That the tenants have the right to have a training with a certified tenant support provider before engaging in negotiations. (c) Third party purchasers are presumed to act with full knowledge of tenant rights and public policy under this subchapter .
