Defines a materially lower price as a price that is at least 20% lower than the price specified in the notice to the officers of the tenants' association. Provides that if the property owner thereafter elects to offer the property at a price materially lower than the price specified in the notice, the tenants, by and through the tenants' association, have an additional 10 days to meet the new price, terms, and conditions by executing a contract. Provides this right to purchase the property is void if no contract for sale by the tenants' association and the property owner has been reached within the 60-day period or any additional 10-day period. Authorizes the property owner to record in the county in which the property is located an affidavit that the owner has complied with the Act's requirements.
