GENERAL RELOCATION QUESTIONS <br />1. How Will I Know I Am Eligible for Relocation Assistance? <br />Ordinarily, eligibility begins on the date the owner of the property receives the Displacing Agency's <br />initial written offer to purchase the property. Therefore, you should not move before that date or <br />receiving a notice of eligibility. If you do, you may not be eligible for relocation assistance. <br />2. How Will the Displacing Agency Know How Much Help I Need? <br />You will be contacted at an early date and personally interviewed by an agent of the Displacing <br />Agency. The interviewer will want to get information about your current operation, as well as identify <br />movable personal property and non - movable improvements, determine your needs and preferences for <br />a replacement location, estimate the time required to vacate the premises and your need for advance <br />payments. During the interview, you may want to discuss other issues relative to your move. It is to <br />your advantage to provide as much information as possible so that the Displacing Agency, through its <br />relocation agent, can assist you in moving with a minimum of hardship. The information you give will <br />be kept in confidence. <br />3. How Soon Will I Have to Move? <br />Every reasonable effort will be made to provide you with sufficient time to find a suitable replacement <br />location and reestablish your business. If possible, a mutually agreeable date for the move will be <br />worked out. Unless there is an urgent need for the property (e.g., your occupancy would present a <br />health or safety emergency), you will not be required to move without at least 90 days advance written <br />notice. It is important, however, that you keep in close contact with the Displacing Agency so that you <br />are aware of the time schedule for carrying out the project and the approximate date by which you will <br />have to move. <br />4. I Own the Property. Will I Be Paid for It Before I Have to Move? <br />If you reach a voluntary agreement to sell your property to the Displacing Agency, you will not be <br />required to move before you receive the agreed purchase price. If the property is acquired through an <br />eminent domain proceeding, you cannot be required to move before the estimated fair market value of <br />the property has been deposited with the court. (You should be able to withdraw this amount <br />immediately, less any amounts necessary to pay off any mortgage or other liens on the property and to <br />resolve any special ownership problems. Withdrawal of your share of the money will not affect your <br />right to seek additional compensation for your property). <br />S. Will I Have to Pay Rent to the Displacing Agency Before I Move? <br />You may be required to pay a fair rent to the Displacing Agency for the period between the acquisition <br />of your property and the date that you move. Your rent and the terms of your tenancy will be <br />generally the same as in the prior arrangement. <br />©1980 -2014 Overland, Pacific & Cutler, Inc. (Oct -14) Page 3 of 10 <br />55A -99 <br />
