Cal. Code Regs. tit. 25 § 6108

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 49, December 6, 2024
Section 6108 - Condition of Replacement Dwelling
(a) When a displaced person qualifies for a replacement housing payment (under section 6102 or 6104) by purchasing or renting a replacement dwelling, the unit, as a general rule, must be decent, safe and sanitary. There are three exceptions. One is described in paragraph 6040(a)(6). The others are:
(1) If the purchase of such a dwelling is the result of the public entity's failure to identify a reasonable number of comparable replacement dwellings as required or if the dwelling is one to which the person was referred by the public entity, the condition of the dwelling does not affect eligibility for a replacement housing payment.
(2) If the purchase of such a dwelling is not the result of a public entity's referral or failure to refer, the otherwise eligible person qualifies for a replacement housing payment if the unit is brought into compliance with the decent, safe and sanitary standard. In this situation payment shall be limited to the amount that would be provided in connection with the purchase of a similar, comparable replacement dwelling or the sum of the actual costs of acquisition (including related expenses) and rehabilitation, whichever is less.
(b) A public entity shall not induce or encourage a displaced person to acquire a dwelling which does not satisfy the comparable replacement housing standard. (See section 6008(c).)
