Westlake Village, Cal., Code of Ordinances ch. 6.7 § 6.7.060
Additional Assistance
Operative Text
The owner shall assist tenants which elect to move prior to March 1, 1983, in finding a comparable replacement rental unit. Comparability shall be determined from the following factors: size, price, location, and amenities. For purposes of this chapter, a unit shall not be deemed "comparable" if such unit is located in a building for which an application for conversion purposes has been filed with any governmental agency. Such assistance shall include at a minimum the following: A. Making available to such tenants a bimonthly report concerning the availability of comparable rental housing in the vicinity of the condominium project; and B. Driving tenants without automobiles in order to inspect such comparable housing. Tenants who elect to move after March 1, 1983, shall not be entitled nor have any claim to the additional assistance provided for in this Section 6.7.060 .
Section 6.7.060 of the Westlake Village Code of Ordinances ch. 6.7 establishes a relocation-assistance obligation tied to a condominium conversion process. Under this rule, property owners must actively help tenants who choose to move before March 1, 1983, find a comparable replacement rental unit, with comparability judged by size, price, location, and amenities. A unit is not considered comparable if its building has already had a conversion application filed with any government agency. Tenants who wait and move after March 1, 1983, lose their entitlement to this additional assistance entirely.

Owners overseeing a condominium conversion covered by Westlake Village Code ch. 6.7 § 6.7.060 are generally expected to provide at least two specific forms of assistance to tenants who opt to relocate before the March 1, 1983 deadline: distributing a bimonthly report on available comparable rental housing nearby, and providing transportation to tenants without vehicles so they can inspect those units. Compliant operators take care not to present units in buildings with pending conversion applications as 'comparable' options. Keeping records of the reports distributed and transportation arranged helps demonstrate that the minimum assistance requirements were met.

Section 6.7.060 of the Westlake Village Code of Ordinances ch. 6.7 gives tenants who chose to move before March 1, 1983, the right to receive active relocation assistance from their owner, including regular housing availability reports and transportation to view units if they lacked a vehicle. Tenants in that window could also expect that any unit offered as 'comparable' would not be in a building already subject to a conversion application. Tenants who believed this assistance was withheld could raise the violation through local municipal channels or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with Westlake Village ordinances for guidance on available remedies.
