The Oakland City Council has passed the Uniform Relocation Ordinance, which requires relocation payments to tenants when they are evicted because their landlord decides to move in or have a family member move into the tenants unit.
While I have not read the final language of the ordinance, the relocation fees are expected to start at $6,500.00 based on the original proposal.
While the owner move-in laws need to be addressed, this new ordinance provides additional remedies to Oakland tenants.
