A. For a tenancy for which just cause is required to terminate the tenancy under this chapter, if an owner of residential real property issues a termination notice based on a no-fault just cause as defined in Larkspur Municipal Code Section 6.30.050, the owner shall, regardless of the tenant’s income, provide a direct payment to the tenant as described in subsection (C) of this section.

B. If an owner issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for no-fault just cause, the owner shall notify the tenant of the tenant’s right to relocation assistance and all other rights pursuant to this section.

C. The amount of relocation assistance shall be equal to: (1) three (3) months of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy, or (2) five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is greater. If a tenant or member of tenant’s household has resided in the unit for at least twelve (12) consecutive months and is sixty-two (62) years of age or older, disabled, or certified to be terminally ill by the treating physician, the amount of relocation assistance shall be increased by three thousand dollars ($3,000). For the purposes of this section, the term “disabled” shall have the same meaning as that in Cal. Gov’t Code Section 12955.3, as may be amended or renumbered from time to time. Any relocation assistance shall be provided within fifteen (15) calendar days of service of the notice.

D. An owner’s failure to strictly comply with this section shall render the notice of termination void. (Ord. 1068 § 2, 2023)
