Relocation Tax Consequences <br />In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of Division 2 of the <br />Internal Revenue Code of 1954, which has been redesignated as the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 <br />(Title 26, U. S. Code), or for the purpose of determining the eligibility or the extent of eligibility of <br />any person for assistance under the Social Security Act (42 U. S. Code 301 et seq.) or the Personal <br />Income Tax Law, Part to (commencing with Section 17001) of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or the <br />Bank and Corporation Tax Law, Part II (commencing with Section 23001) of Division 2 of the Revenue <br />and Taxation Code. The above statement on tax consequences is not intended as tax advice by the <br />City or Paragon. Displacees are responsible for consulting with their own tax advisors concerning the <br />tax consequences of relocation payments. <br />V. Administrative Provisions <br />A. Holdover Tenancies <br />The City's acquisition schedule may allow some residential tenants to remain in occupancy <br />of the City's acquired properties for periods as long as six months prior to displacement. <br />It is anticipated that by adding time to the relocation process, residential tenants would <br />benefit by having greater flexibility to plan a move around school schedules, as an example, <br />orother personal considerations. <br />Holdover tenants would be required to enter into a Rental Agreement with the City and <br />make monthly payments. The City would assume responsibility for all property management <br />functions. Holdover tenants would be required to conform to state and local law and the <br />requirements of the City's Rental Agreement, or face eviction in conformance with the City's <br />eviction policy as set forth in Section V.E. of this Plan. <br />21 <br />55B-32 <br />
