<br /> <br />condemnation, the date the full amount of estimated just compensation is deposited in <br />court; or <br />b. The date you move from the displacement dwelling. <br /> <br />All claims for relocation benefits must be filed with the Displacing Agency within eighteen (18) <br />months from the date on which you receive final payment for your property, or the date on which <br />you move, whichever is later. <br /> <br />8. LAST RESORT HOUSING ASSISTANCE <br /> <br />If comparable replacement dwellings are not available when you are required to move, or if <br />replacement housing is not available within the monetary limits described above, the Displacing Agency <br />will provide Last Resort Housing assistance to enable you to rent or purchase a replacement dwelling <br />on a timely basis. Last Resort Housing assistance is based on the individual circumstances of the <br />displaced person. Your relocation agent will explain the process for determining whether or not you <br />qualify for Last Resort assistance. <br /> <br />If you are a tenant, and you choose to purchase rather than rent a comparable replacement dwelling, <br />the entire amount of your rental assistance and Last Resort eligibility must be applied toward the <br />down-payment and eligible incidental expenses of the home you intend to purchase. <br /> <br />9. RENTAL AGREEMENT <br /> <br />As a result of the Displacing Agency's action to purchase the property where you live, you may become <br />a tenant of the Displacing Agency. If this occurs, you will be asked to sign a rental agreement which <br />will specify the monthly rent to be paid, when rent payments are due, where they are to be paid and <br />other pertinent information. <br /> <br />10. EVICTIONS <br />Any person, who occupies the real property and is not in unlawful occupancy, is presumed to be <br />entitled to relocation benefits. Except for the causes of eviction set forth below, no person lawfully <br />occupying property to be purchased by the Agency will be required to move without having been <br />provided with at least 90 days written notice from the Agency. Eviction will be undertaken only in the <br />event of one or more of the following reasons: <br /> <br /> Failure to pay rent; except in those cases where the failure to pay is due to the lessor's failure to <br />keep the premises in habitable condition, is the result of harassment or retaliatory action or is the <br />result of discontinuation or substantial interruption of services; <br /> Performance of dangerous illegal act in the unit; <br /> Material breach of the rental agreement and failure to correct breach within the legally prescribed <br />notice period; <br /> Maintenance of a nuisance and failure to abate within a reasonable time following notice; <br /> Refusal to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement dwellings; or <br /> The eviction is required by State or local law and cannot be prevented by reasonable efforts on the <br />part of the public entity. <br /> <br />11. APPEAL PROCEDURES - GRIEVANCE <br /> <br />Any person aggrieved by a determination as to eligibility for, or the amount of, a payment authorized <br />by the Displacing Agency’s Relocation Assistance Program may have the appeal application reviewed
