Displacement of tenants might require providing tenant relocation assistance through either the City’s Tenant Relocation Assistance Ordinance (TRAO) and/or the State’s Housing Crisis Act of 2019, also referred to as SB330.

1. Relocation assistance is intended to help eligible households with the cost of moving and securing replacement housing.
2. Eligible tenants also have the right of first refusal to a newly constructed unit if their rental property is demolished and redeveloped.
3. Demolition of rental properties may also trigger requirements to replace the demolished units with affordable rental or ownership housing.

To determine which laws may be applicable to your situation, see the Tenant Relocation Administrative Guidelines. These guidelines provide an overview of key provisions from the City's TRAO regulations and State Law SB 330. The stricter of the TRAO or SB330 requirements shall prevail where applicable. Please refer to each respective law for the complete text and requirements. These guidelines may be revised from time to time to clarify or revise procedures consistent with state law.
