V. Administrative Provisions A. Holdover Tenancies The City's acquisition schedule may allow some business and residential tenants to remain in occupancy of the City's acquired properties for periods as long as six months prior to displacement. It is anticipated that by adding time to the relocation process, businesses would have greater opportunities to successfully reestablish operations at a new location. Residential tenants would benefit by having greater flexibility to plan a move around school schedules, as an example, or other personal considerations. Holdover tenants would be required to enter into a Rental Agreement with the City and make monthly payments. The City would assume responsibility for all property management functions. Holdover tenants would be required to conform to state and local law and the requirements of the City's Rental Agreement, or face eviction in conformance with the City's eviction policy as set forth in Section V.E.

Each notice would indicate the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted for answers to questions or other help. There are three principal notices: 1. General Information Notice (GIN), 2. Notice of Relocation Eligibility (NOE), and 3• 90 -Day Informational or Vacate Notice The GIN is intended to provide potential displacees with a general written description of the City's relocation program and basic information concerning benefits, conditions of eligibility, noticing requirements and appeal rights.

The NOE that would be issued to business operators acknowledges the recipient's eligibility for assistance and right to make claims for relocation assistance benefits.
