§ 20.84.115. Eviction for cause.

A.

Evictions must conform to applicable state and local law. Any Person who lawfully occupies the real property on the date of the Initiation of Negotiations is presumed to be entitled to relocation payments and other assistance set forth in this chapter unless the Department determines that the Person is evicted after the date of Initiation of Negotiations: 1) for cause, 2) pursuant to an eviction notice received by the Person prior to the Initiation of Negotiations, or 3) because a non-residential term lease has ended.

B.

In any case an eviction may not be undertaken for the purpose of evading the obligation to make available the payments and other assistance provided for by this chapter.

C.

For purposes of determining eligibility for relocation payments, the date of displacement is the date the Person moves, or the date a Comparable Replacement Dwelling is made available, whichever is later. This section applies only to Persons who would otherwise have been displaced by the Program or Project.
