SB 5577: Relocation assistance
Making available relocation assistance payments to tenants.
Summary
Requires landlords to pay relocation assistance, as well as to return any deposits and prepaid rent, to tenants who are displaced because their residence is condemned or declared unlawful to occupy except in cases in which the condemnation or no occupancy order directly results from a natural disaster, an illegal tenant or third party action, or is a result of eminent domain. Allows local governments: to advance the cost of relocation assistance payments; to assess interest and penalties if a property owner fails to timely reimburse the local government; and to recover attorneys' fees if legal action is initiated in order to collect.
