Cal. Code Regs. tit. 25 § 6034

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 6034 - Eligibility
(a) Relocation assistance and benefits shall be available to:
(1) Any person who occupies property from which he will be displaced.
(2) Any person who will move from real property or will move his personal property from real property, because he will be displaced from other real property on which he conducts a business or farm operation.
(3) Any person who moves from real property as a result of its acquisition by a public entity whether the move is voluntary or involuntary.
(4) Any person who, following the initiation of negotiations by a public entity, moves as the result of the pending acquisition.
(5) Any person who moves as the result of pending acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition by a public entity either following receipt of a Notice of Intent to Displace (see section 6086) or as a result of inducement or encouragement by the public entity.
(b)
(1) Post-acquisition tenants, those who lawfully occupy property only after a public entity acquires it, or who lawfully occupy property after the private acquisition of property by a person with a written agreement with a public entity for the purpose of financing the purchase or development of the property, are not eligible for assistance and benefits other than advisory assistance to the extent determined by the displacing agency.

A public entity shall inform post-acquisition tenants regarding the pro-jected date of displacement and, periodically, should inform post-acquisition tenants of any changes in this projection.

(2) When the displacement of a post-acquisition tenant causes a hardship for that person because of a critical housing shortage, age, handicap, infirmity, lack of financial means or other circumstance, the displacing entity shall provide relocation advisory assistance and, may in its discretion, provide other financial relocation benefits. In such hardship situations a public entity is encouraged to provide advisory assistance and payment for moving expenses.
(3) Where a public entity, or property it owns, is making housing available on a permanent basis, a post-acquisition tenant who moves as the result of a written order from the public entity to vacate is eligible for relocation assistance and benefits if the order to vacate is related to a plan to demolish, rehabilitate or change the use of such units.
