- 2 - agreement is terminated due to landlord-caused terminations as identified in the TRO. Eligible tenants may receive relocation assistance of up to $7,000 per unit from their landlord following a landlord-caused termination in order to assist with relocation to a new residence. A housing unit must be located in a parcel that contains 2+ tenant-occupied housing units to be eligible for the TRO. A single-family residence is exempt from the TRO. Exceptions to landlord-caused terminations include the following: • Tenant failure to pay rent • Tenant breach of lease or rental contract • Tenant illegal activities • Failure to allow landlord access after legal notice • Residential property uninhabitable without landlord fault (e.g., tenant's negligence or willful misconduct, earthquake, fire, flood) • Lawful termination of employment where such employment (e.g., on-site property manager) by the landlord was a condition of the lease • Temporary repairs where the landlord provides the tenant with short-term alternative housing during the renovation period • Prior notice of renovations where the landlord notifies the tenant, before entering into a lease, of his/her intent to remodel the property. The landlord must submit plans with the City at the time he/she notifies the tenant of the termination of tenancy. • Landlord occupancy of the rental unit, limited to the landlord, his or her spouse, landlord's parent or parents or landlord's spouse's parent or parents, landlord's child or children or landlord's spouse's child or children, and landlord's or landlord's spouse's grandchildren FY 2022-2023 TRO In FY 2022-2023, the City contracted with ECHO Housing to assist with tenant/landlord issues and inquiries, including those involving tenant relocation assistance. ECHO reported 7 households reached out to them with questions regarding the TRO. The City’s Eviction Moratorium was in place during FY 2022-2023. ECHO Housing reported that they did not negotiate any tenant relocation assistance for tenants during this period. There were exceptions under which evictions could take place, however; those same exceptions would also cause one to not qualify for relocation assistance under the TRO. It is possible that tenant relocation assistance agreements were transacted privately between tenants and landlords.
