RELOCATION TAX CONSEQUENCES <br />In general, relocation payments are not considered income for the purpose of the Internal Revenue Code of <br />1968 or the Personal Income Tax Law, Part 10 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. <br />The above statement on tax consequences is not intended to be provision of tax advice by the City or their <br />consultants. Displacees are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors concerning the tax <br />consequences of relocation payments. <br />NOTICES <br />The notices used in this project are outlined in Exhibits A- F for review. <br />IMMIGRATION STATUS <br />Under the Uniform Act residents not lawfully present in the United States are not eligible to receive <br />relocation payments and assistance, however the City at their discretion may approve payments to <br />residents not lawfully present in the United States. <br />EVICTION POLICY <br />Eviction of occupants by the City will be pursued only as a last resort, with the exception of a person <br />considered to be an unlawful occupant. A displaced person's eviction may affect eligibility for relocation <br />assistance and benefits. Relocation records must be documented to reflect the specific circumstances <br />surrounding the eviction. <br />Eviction by the City may be undertaken for one, or more of the following reasons: <br />Failure to pay rent, except in those cases where failure to pay is due to the City's failure to keep <br />the premises in habitable condition is the result of the City's harassment or retaliatory action or is <br />the result of the City's discontinuation of substantial interruption of services, <br />Performance of a dangerous or illegal act in or upon the premises by the lessee, <br />Material breach of the rental agreement by lessee and failure to correct said breach within 30 days <br />of notice to cure, <br />Maintenance of a nuisance by lessee and failure to abate such nuisance within a reasonable <br />number of offers of replacement dwellings, <br />Refusal of lessee to accept one of a reasonable number of offers of replacement dwellings, and <br />A requirement under State or local law or emergency circumstances such that it (the eviction) <br />cannot be prevented by any other reasonable efforts on the part of the public entity. <br />Page 120 <br />RELOCATION PLAN <br />Bristol Street Phase 4 Project <br />
