SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	NOTE 17—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension were approximately $128,000. Management is currently working with the lender on a three year renewal of the line of credit. As of October 31, 2020, the Partership had not completed the renewal and exercised a one year extension. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension. See Note 5 for a description of the ongoing discussions with lender regarding renewal of the line of credit. 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-19 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. Past due rents receivable have increased and the Partnership is currently experiencing significantly higher vacancies for the upcoming rental season. Both State and Federal governments have taken steps to protect tenants during the Covid 19 Pandemic. These steps include extending the time required for a landlord to evict tenants who are not current with their rents. Although the eviction process has been significantly complicated and lengthened from approximately 4 weeks to a new estimated minimum of 3 months, the Management company is moving forward with evictions in compliance with applicable law. The pandemic has resulted in a significant reduction in the occupancy and rental rate for certain buildings located near Boston’s colleges and universities.
