§ 20.84.510. Replacement housing payment for 180-day Mobile Homeowner displaced from a Mobile Home, and/or from the acquired Mobile Home site.

A.

An Owner-occupant displaced from a Mobile Home or site is entitled to a replacement housing payment, not to exceed $22,500, under Section 20.84.400 if:

1.

The Person occupied the Mobile Home as a Dwelling on the displacement site for at least 180 days immediately before:

a.

The Initiation of Negotiations to acquire the Mobile Home, if the Person owned the Mobile Home and the Mobile Home is real property under state law;

b.

The Initiation of Negotiations to acquire the mobile home site if the Mobile Home is personal property under state law, but the Person owns the mobile home site;

c.

The date of the Department's written notification to the Owner-occupant that the Owner is determined to be displaced from the Mobile Home as described in subsections A3a—d of this section.

2.

The Person meets the other basic eligibility requirements of Section 20.84.400 A; and

3.

The Department acquires the Mobile Home as real estate, or acquires the mobile home site from the displaced Owner, or the Mobile Home used as a Dwelling is personal property under state law but the Owner is displaced from the Mobile Home because the Department determines that the Mobile Home:

a.

Is not and cannot economically be made Decent, Safe, and Sanitary;

b.

Cannot be relocated without substantial damage or unreasonable cost;

c.

Cannot be relocated because there is no available comparable replacement site; or

d.

Cannot be relocated because it does not meet mobile home park entrance requirements.

B.

Replacement housing payment computation for a 180-day Owner who is displaced from a Mobile Home. The replacement housing payment for an eligible displaced 180-day Owner is computed as described in Section 20.84.400 B incorporating the following, as applicable:

1.

If the Department acquires the Mobile Home as real estate and/or acquires the Mobile Home site, the acquisition cost used to compute the price differential payment is the actual amount paid to the Owner as just compensation for the Acquisition of the Mobile Home, and/or site, if owned by the displaced mobile homeowner.

2.

If the Department does not purchase the Mobile Home as real estate but the Owner is determined to be displaced from the Mobile Home and eligible for a replacement housing payment based on subsection A1a of this section, the eligible price differential payment for the purchase of a comparable replacement Mobile Home, is the lesser of the displaced mobile homeowner's net cost to purchase a replacement Mobile Home (i.e., purchase price of the replacement Mobile Home less trade-in or sale proceeds of the displacement Mobile Home); or, the cost of the Department selected comparable Mobile Home less the Department's estimate of the salvage or trade-in value for the Mobile Home from which the Person is displaced.

3.

If a comparable replacement mobile home site is not available, the price differential payment shall be computed on the basis of the reasonable cost of a conventional Comparable Replacement Dwelling.

C.

Rental Assistance payment for a 180-day Owner-occupant who is displaced from a leased or rented mobile home site. If the displacement mobile home site is leased or rented, a displaced 180-day Owner-occupant is entitled to a rental assistance payment computed as described in Section 20.84.410 B. This rental assistance payment may be used to lease a replacement site; may be applied to the purchase price of a replacement site; or may be applied, with any replacement housing payment attributable to the Mobile Home, to the purchase of a replacement Mobile Home or conventional Decent, Safe, and Sanitary Dwelling.

D.

Owner-occupant not displaced from the Mobile Home. If the Department determines that a Mobile Home is personal property and may be relocated to a comparable replacement site, but the Owner-occupant elects not to do so, the Owner is not entitled to a replacement housing payment for the purchase of a replacement Mobile Home. However, the Owner is eligible for moving costs described in Section 20.84.300 and any replacement housing payment for the purchase or rental of a comparable site as described in this section or Section 20.84.520 as applicable.
