    5  connection  with  its  charitable  or educational purposes] THE TENANT'S
    6  INITIAL OCCUPANCY PREDATES THE OWNER'S ACQUISITION OF THE BUILDING,  AND
    7  SUCH TENANT IS LESS THAN SIXTY-TWO YEARS OF AGE AND HAS BEEN A TENANT IN
    8  A HOUSING ACCOMMODATION IN THAT BUILDING FOR LESS THAN TWENTY YEARS, THE
    9  OWNER  MAY  ONLY  SERVE  A WARRANT OF EVICTION IF THE OWNER HAS GIVEN AT
