Ordinance amending Administrative Code Section 37.9A regarding relocation payments made by landlords to low-income tenants evicted pursuant to the Ellis Act (California Government Code Section 7060 et seq., which provides owner rights to withdraw units from residential rental): these relocation payments shall be provided to "lawful adult tenants" only (the current ordinance states that "tenants" are entitled to the payments); relocation payments for individual low-income tenants are increased from the current range of $1,500-$2,500 per tenant (depending upon the size of the unit) to a standard $3,000 per tenant; however, where any two or more lawful adult tenants from an affected unit move together to a new residence then the relocation payment for those moving together shall be calculated on a per unit basis instead of a per tenant basis, at the rate of $3,000 per affected studio unit (currently $1,500 per studio tenant), $4,000 per affected one bedroom unit (currently $1,750 per one bedroom tenant), and $5,000 per affected unit with two or more bedrooms (currently $2,500 per tenant of a two or more bedroom unit); and, these relocation payment rates shall be reviewed from time to time by the Board of Supervisors and adjusted as determined necessary by the Board of Supervisors to reflect residential rental housing market fluctuations.
