Section 17-4.3 permits an uncontrolled initial one-year lease after a voluntary vacancy, legal process or abandonment not produced by harassment. The unit returns to the annual cap after that first year, and the landlord must file the decontrol registration within 30 days of re-rental.

The operative section and township registration form now agree. The twelve-month tail is the part a model usually misses — the first lease after turnover is uncontrolled, but the first renewal is not.
