Under the Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO), a landlord is only required to pay monetary relocation assistance payments to tenants being evicted through no fault of their own. Without a RSO cause, a tenancy may not be terminated. There are 7 no-fault reasons under the RSO in which a landlord can legally evict a tenant. For each reason, landlords must file a landlord declaration application with the Los Angeles Housing + Community Investment Department (HCIDLA) before issuing a notice to move-out. The following eviction reasons require the payment of relocation assistance: The amount of relocation assistance depends on whether the tenant is an Eligible or Qualified tenant, the length of tenancy, and the tenant’s income. Qualified tenant – A qualified tenant is any tenant who on the date of service of the written notice of termination is 62 years of age or older; handicapped, as defined in Section 50072 of the California Health and Safety Code, or disabled, as defined in Title 42 of the United States Code, Section 423;

or who has one or more minor dependent children (as determined for federal income tax purposes). Eligible tenant – Unless a tenant is a qualified tenant as explained above, the tenant is an eligible tenant and is entitled to receive a relocation assistance amount that depends on length of time in the unit and income. Low Income Tenant – A tenant whose income is 80% or less of the Area Median Income, as adjusted for household size, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,regardless of the length of tenancy. HUD Income levels are located on Page 3 of the Relocation Assistance Bulletin. A lower amount of relocation assistance is required for evictions for owner occupancy for “Mom and Pop” properties. “Mom and Pop” landlords may own no more than four residential units and a single-family house in the City of Los Angeles (LAMC 151.30 E). These landlords may pay a lower amount in order to evict for occupancy by the landlord, or the landlord’s spouse, children, parents, grandparents, or grandchildren.

Use of this provision is limited to once every three years. A landlord or tenant may appeal the relocation assistance determination within 15 days of the issuance of the relocation assistance determination. Appeal reasons may include a tenant’s eligibility for higher levels of relocation assistance based on the tenant’s income, age, length of tenancy, family status or disability. Red Lobster Restaurant T-ShirtThe fee to file an appeal is $200 per rental unit to cover the administrative costs of the appeal hearing. Hot Tub Electrical RepairThere is a low income exemption waiver for the $200 appeal fee. Boutique Hotel Furniture For SaleTo qualify for an exemption from the appeal filing fee, the applicant’s annual household earnings must be no more than 50 percent of the median income in the Los Angeles area.  

If you do not qualify for an exemption, you must submit the $200 filing fee before an appeal can be scheduled. Program fees must be paid to HCIDLA by landlords seeking to evict tenants from RSO units for no-fault reasons, as well as landlords who issue a Notice to Terminate Tenancy for any rental unit in the City of Los Angeles for a condo conversion or demolition. Through the Tenant Relocation Assistance Program, the HCIDLA contracts with a relocation services consultant to assist displaced tenants in relocating to new housing. No-fault evictions in RSO units also require the filing of a Landlord Declaration of Intent to Evict with the HCIDLA. Relocation assistance payments must be made available to the tenant within 15 days of service of the written notice to terminate tenancy (move-out). Landlords may elect to pay the relocation assistance through an escrow account rather than provide the full relocation amount on the 15th day. For current relocation assistance amounts, please view HCIDLA’s Relocation Assistance Bulletin.
