NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

From July 1, 2020 through August 6, 2020, the Partnership purchased no Depository Receipts.

The current outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, has currently resulted in a worldwide health crisis, which is adversely affecting international, national and local economies and financial markets generally, and continues to have an unprecedented effect on the rental housing and commercial property markets. Given the continuous evolution of the COVID-019 pandemic and the global response to curb its spread, the Partnership is not able to estimate the resulting effects on its results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020 or beyond.

The Government’s measures put into place to combat the spread of the virus have caused significant disruptions to life and business operations in Massachusetts, the country and the world. The length and severity of the current recession and the effects on the Partnership’s business are unknown at this time.

During the current state of emergency, The Hamilton Company, the Partnership’s property manager, has taken steps to maintain the safety of its employees and tenants. Hamilton is providing essential services to ensure all properties are kept open, fully functioning and safe. Hamilton has implemented a work from home policy with a skeleton staff present at all site offices to provide for property management, maintenance, leasing and construction services. Leasing is limited to unoccupied units and a web based video technology is being used to remotely show apartments. Hamilton and the Partnership will continue to adjust their business practices to comply with Federal and State mandates for workplace and rental property operations.

Massachusetts has passed an emergency law to stop evictions during the Covid-19 state of emergency.The moratorium has been extended through October17, 2020.Past due rents receivable have increased and the Partnership is currently experiencing significantly higher vacancies for the upcoming rental season.
