§ 20.32.060. New tenant disclosure.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever, after serving of the notice of intention to submit a tentative map for conversion (or after completion of a multi-family dwelling for which a condominium, community apartments or stock cooperative map has received tentative approval), the owner rents or leases any dwelling unit affected by such map, the person to whom the dwelling is to be rented or leased shall be informed of the owner's intention to convert. Such disclosure shall occur prior to finalization of any rental or lease agreement. Such disclosure shall be a single page document stating that an application for conversion will be or has been submitted and that the prospective tenant should consider that at some future date the building will be converted. The prospective tenant shall sign such document acknowledging that he has been notified of the potential conversion.

    Any person so notified shall not be entitled to the moving expenses or displacement benefits specified in this Section. However, a tenant who resides in the complex when the first notice of intention to convert is given or when first notified of the intent to convert, shall still be entitled to the moving expenses or displacement benefits specified in this Section regardless of notice prior to execution of a rental or lease agreement. The disclosure document shall also disclose that the prospective tenant will not be entitled to these expenses or benefits. Any tenant who does not receive such notification shall be entitled to these expenses or benefits.

    Regardless of each prospective tenant being informed of the proposed conversion prior to finalization of any rent or lease agreement, a notice of such intended conversion shall be posted and maintained at all times in a highly visible location outside the Manager's office or unit or the rental office, if any.
