Condemned home

Your home may be condemned or declared unlawful to live in. If you must move, your landlord must pay you relocation assistance (money to help you move). This applies only if your landlord knew or should have known about the problems. It does not apply if the cause was illegal conduct by a tenant or someone else that the landlord did not know about. It also does not apply after a natural disaster, or if the government took the property by eminent domain.

Relocation assistance (money to help you move) after a condemnation is the greater of $2,000 per unit or 3 times your monthly rent. Example: if your rent is $900, 3 times that is $2,700, so you would get $2,700 because it is more than $2,000. Your landlord must also return your full deposit and all rent you paid in advance. Your landlord must pay within 7 days after the government sends the condemnation notice.
