Plain English

Monte Sereno Code of Ordinances ch. 9.09 § 9.09.030 establishes that when tenants are displaced from a rental unit, the property owner bears the responsibility of providing relocation assistance as defined elsewhere in Chapter 9.09. The rule places the financial obligation squarely on the owner, requiring that any required payments flow directly from the owner to the displaced tenants. This provision sets the foundational framework for who owes relocation assistance and who receives it, with the specifics of amounts and conditions addressed in other sections of the same chapter.

For Property Managers

Under Monte Sereno Code of Ordinances ch. 9.09 § 9.09.030, property owners who displace tenants are responsible for delivering relocation assistance payments directly to those tenants — not through a third party or offset arrangement. Compliant operators typically familiarize themselves with the full scope of Chapter 9.09 to understand what triggering events require assistance and what amounts apply. Keeping clear records of any payments made to displaced tenants is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating compliance with this type of obligation.

For Tenants

Monte Sereno Code of Ordinances ch. 9.09 § 9.09.030 establishes that a displaced tenant has a right to receive relocation assistance payments directly from the property owner, not from any intermediary. If an owner fails to provide the assistance required under Chapter 9.09, tenants may have grounds to raise that failure as a legal claim or defense in relevant proceedings. Tenant-rights organizations and local housing agencies can be useful resources for understanding what specific assistance the broader chapter entitles a displaced tenant to receive.
