A. The relocation benefits required by this article shall be paid by the landlord to the tenant within ten days after the date that the order to vacate is first mailed to the landlord and posted on the premises, or at least 20 days prior to the vacation date set forth in the order to vacate, whichever occurs later. (Amended by Ord. No. 184,336, Eff. 7/19/16.)
B. If there are fewer than ten days between the first posting and mailing of the order to vacate and the vacation date, the relocation benefits shall be paid by the landlord to the tenant within 24 hours after the notice is posted and mailed. The Enforcement Agency shall attempt to provide either telephonic or written notice to the landlord to notify the landlord that the benefits are payable immediately. Failure to provide notice as specified in this section shall not relieve the landlord of any obligations imposed by this article. (Amended by Ord. No. 184,336, Eff. 7/19/16.)
C. If a tenant is entitled to relocation benefits pursuant to Section 163.02 above, the Enforcement Agency shall provide either telephonic or written notice to the tenant of the tenant’s entitlement to the benefits. Written notice may be satisfied by posting a written notice on the premises stating that tenants may be entitled to relocation benefits.
