SEC. 152.06. TEMPORARY RELOCATION AND TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT HOUSING. (Added by Ord. No. 176,544, Eff. 5/2/05.) A. The landlord shall indicate in its Tenant Habitability Plan whether the temporary relocation of one or more tenant households is necessary. Pursuant to Section 152.03 of this Code, the Department independently may determine whether temporary relocation is necessary in conjunction with its review of the Tenant Habitability Plan. The Department may also require the temporary relocation of a tenant at any time during the project if the Department determines temporary relocation is necessary to ensure the health or safety of the tenant. B. The temporary relocation of a tenant pursuant to this article shall not constitute the voluntary vacating of that rental unit and shall not terminate the status and rights of a tenant, including the right to reoccupy the tenant’s rental unit upon the completion of the Primary Renovation Work and any Related Work. C. A tenant who is temporarily relocated as a result of Primary Renovation Work shall continue to pay rent in the manner prescribed by any lease provision or accepted in the course of business between the landlord and the tenant. D. A landlord shall pay for all temporary housing accommodation costs and any costs related to relocating the tenant to temporary housing accommodations, regardless of whether those costs exceed rent paid by the tenant. The landlord shall also pay any costs related to returning the tenant to the tenant’s unit, if applicable. The Commission may adopt guidelines or regulations regarding the payment of moving costs. E. A landlord may choose to place a tenant’s rent and any other required payments in an escrow account. All costs of opening and maintaining the escrow account shall be borne by the landlord. Monies deposited into the escrow account shall be distributed in accordance with guidelines or regulations established by the Commission. The cost of opening an escrow account is not recoverable under Section 151.07 A.1.d. of this Code. (Amended by Ord. No. 177,103, Eff. 12/18/05.) F. A landlord must temporarily relocate a tenant to habitable temporary housing accommodations if the Primary Renovation Work and any Related Work will make the rental unit an untenantable dwelling, as defined in California Civil Code Section 1941.1, outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m.
