B. Moving Expense Assistance. The applicant (subdivider) shall offer moving expense assistance to displace rental housing tenants who are residents at the time of delivery of the notice of intent, the amount of which

The moving expense payment shall be made to the tenant within ten days of, but not later than, the date of vacation of the tenant's apartment unit. C. Temporary Relocation. In the event that any tenant of a unit enters into a written agreement with the developer to purchase their unit and is thereafter required to temporarily vacate the unit because renovation or required repairs cause the unit to become temporarily unlivable, the developer shall be responsible for finding suitable, temporary, furnished replacement housing for such tenant. If the replacement housing prorated daily rent is higher than the prorated daily rent for the vacated unit, then the developer shall pay the difference. (CCCC§§ 926-16.202 — 926-16.206)
