Cal. Civ. Code § 186-1-.08
Relief from Application of an Order
Operative Text
An employer or other person who believes that the application to them of an order issued under this article would result in undue hardship may apply to the Administrator for relief from the application of this order. If the Administrator finds that the application of the regulation or order to the employer or person in question would impose an undue hardship, the Administrator may grant appropriate relief.
Under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. ch. 186-1 § 186-1-.08, any employer or other person subject to an order issued under this article has a formal avenue to seek relief if complying with that order would create an undue hardship. The Administrator holds the authority to evaluate such claims and, if the hardship finding is supported, to grant appropriate relief. This provision creates a discretionary safety valve within the regulatory framework, allowing case-by-case adjustments to the application of orders.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. ch. 186-1 § 186-1-.08 provides property owners and managers who are subject to an order under this article with a recognized process for requesting relief when compliance would impose an undue hardship. Operators who believe a particular order creates such a burden generally document the nature and extent of that hardship and submit a formal application to the Administrator. Maintaining thorough records of operational and financial circumstances is a common practice among those pursuing this type of relief request.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. ch. 186-1 § 186-1-.08 establishes that an Administrator may grant relief to an employer or other party from an order's requirements when undue hardship is demonstrated. Tenants and advocates should be aware that this provision means a landlord or other regulated party could potentially obtain a modification or exemption from an otherwise applicable order. Those with questions about how a granted hardship exemption might affect their situation can consult a tenant-rights organization or review public records of Administrator decisions for transparency into how this discretion is exercised.
