CI1'Y OF SAINT F'AUL
MULTI-FAMILY RENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
RELOCATION GUIDELWES
I. PURPOSE:
The Multi-Family Rental Housing Development Revenue Program is to preserve and increase
the availability of decent, safe and sanitary housing within the City of Saint Paul. The purpose
of these relocation guidelines are to minimize the hardships on existing tenants, and to provide
overall direction and guidance to building owners in the treatrnent of the tenants affected
by the Revenue Program.
II. OBJECTIVES:
A. Displace as few tenants as possible.
B. Provide suitable housing to existing tenants occupying structures included in the program.
C. Treat tenants fairly, consistently and equitably so the tenants will not suffer undue hardships
as a direct result of the program.
D. Owners will:
l. Refrain from evicting tenants of a project in a summary or pre-emptory manner.
2. Provide services and payments to tenants to assist in obtaining suitable housing in
accordance with these guidelines.
3. Submit for City review and approval a Relocation Plan and Budget in conformity
with these guidelines.
4. Cooperate fully with the City (HRA) in any efforts the City (HRA) makes to:
(a) Assist tenants, or
(b) Monitor or enforce the provisions of these guidelines.
III. GENERAL:
A. Application of the Uniform Act:
The Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970
(Uniform Act) and HUD implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 42, apply only to acquisitions
for a Federal or Federally-assisted project or to acquisitions without Federal financing
participation under provisions of Minn. St. Section 117.52. This program does not involve
acquisitions for a Federal or Federally-assisted project nor acquisitions within the meaning
of Minn. St. Section 117.50; therefore, these laws and guidelines do not require relocation
assistance and payments under the Uniform Act.
. . . . -2 �'�0�3
' B. Even though the Uniforrn Act and HUD implenienting regulations do not apply, the City
of Saint Paul elects to provide assistance to tenants in accordance with these guidelines.
These guidelines and any related expenditures that occur as a result of displacement
are appropriate for and cumplimentary to the Community Development f3lock Grant
Program. These guidelines will be made available to the public. These guidelines are
intended to cornpliment the provisions of the Rent Regulatory Agreement between the
Borrower, Lender and HRA, which provisions shall be controlling.
C. Owners' Responsibilities: _
1. To the extent feasible, owners will allow each tenant to remain in continued occupancy.
In order to allow for this, temporary housing is a reasonable alternative. Permanent
displacement rnust be considered by the owner as a last resort alternative. In any
event, owners are responsible for assuring all tenants reirain in or are moved to suitable
housing.
2. Owners will work directly with each affected tenant. Owners are responsible for
assuring services and payment are provided, in accordance with these guidelines.
Owners will prepare and submit to the City for its' review a Relocation Plan and
Budget as outlined in para. VI, U.
3. All tenants occupying a siructure to be included in a project will be provided advance
and continuing written information by the owner respecting timing of the development
and relocation requirements, and if necessary, personal explanation. This information
will be sufficient for the tenants to fully understand the reason for any change in
their tenancy or displacement. The information will include relocation opportunities
and assistance available to the tenants. In all cases, the owner has the responsibility
to provide necessary information to the tenants.
4. Owners will maintain tenant records as outlined in para. VI, C.
D. T'enants' Entitlement to Relocation Assistance:
l. Each residential tenant occupying a structure included in the project, shall to the
extent feasible, be allowed to remain in continued occupancy.
2. Each tenant that the owner deterrnines needs to be permanently relocated as a direct
result of this program, shall be provided by the owner with relocation services and
payments in order to move to suitable housing, as indicated in the owner's Relocation
Plan and Budget, and in accordance with these guidelines.

3. Implementin� Guidelines:
Tenants are entitled to relocation assistance from the owner if they are relocated,
following the closing of the owner's loan for the project. However, an exception
to the requirement of the owner providing relocation assistance is when a tenancy
is terminated as a result of non-compliance with tf-�e lease or other good cause.
E. Suitable Housing:
1. All tenants who are perrnanently displaced will be provided by the owner with addresses
or names of rental agents for available rental listings that are suitable for the tenant's
needs and within the tenant's ability to pay.
2. Implementin� Guideline in Determining Suitable Housing:
(a) The unit will be decent, safe and sanitary and meet basic housing and occupancy
codes. Any unit meeting Section 8 housing quality standards, or has received
(or in the process of receiving) a Certificate of Occupancy, is acceptable.
(b) The unit will be available at a monthly housing cost not to exceed the greater
of either (1) 3096 of the tenant's monthly gross income, or (2) w'rthin 10% of the
tenant's actual former housing cost.
IV. CONTINUED OCCUPANCY:
A. If at the owner's determination a tenant is permitted to continue in occupancy upon completion
of the Project, the tenant is not considered displaced.

to continue in occupancy and under what conditions.
2. The tenant will have an opportunity to lease and occupy a unit within the Project,
that is suitable housing, for:

� � . � - � -4- ��0"73
. .
(b) A five year period for a rental amount in accordance with the [tent Regulatory
Agreernent.
B. Temporary Relocation ;
1. In order for the owner to do the necessary construction and rehabilitation of units
occupied by tenants who will continue in occupancy after the cornpletion of the project,
the owner may consider providing temporary housing units for affected tenants.
However, since a temporary move may be unacceptable to the tenant, the owner
has the responsibility to fully inform the tenant of all alternatives, and allow the
tenant to make an informed decision on whether to accept a temporary move or request
for permanent relocation.
2. When the owner wishes to provide a temporary move to any tenant, the tenant has
the option to accept the temporary move or to be permanently relocated.
3. In the event a temporary move is made, the temporary housing must be suitable housing.
The temporary move should last no longer than a 45-60 day period following the completion
of the project.
4. The owner is responsible for assuring the tenant is satisfactorily moved to the temporary,
suitable housing unit. The owner will pay, reimburse, or make other satisfactory
arrangements with tenants for any actual reasonable moving expenses and any increase
in monthly housing cost while temporarily housed.
V. PERMANENT RELOCATION:
In the event the owner cannot provide tenants the opportunity to continue in occupancy,
or cannot adequately provide temporary housing during the construction period, the owner
must consider permanent relocation.
1. The tenant will be appropriately notified by the owner in writir�g of the need to move,
under what conditions and requirements, and to what advisory services and payments
will be pr9vided by the owner.

(a) The preljminary Notice of Proposed Rehabilitation must be pravided to the tenants
at the time the owner makes an application to the City for the project. The Notice
must ind�cate the potential need for the tenant to make a inove at sometime in
the f uture.
(b) No lawful tenant will be required to move without being provided an advance
written Notice to Vacate, and a reasonable choice of opportunities to move to
suitable housing. If the tenant is provided, but refuses a reasonable choice of
opportU(�ities to move to suitable housing, the owner will not be obligated to make
further efforts to provide replacement housing.
(c) Impler�entin� Guideline: The advance written Notice to Vacate should include,
as a r�inimum, a sixty (60) day period.
3. MovinR and Related Expenses:

suitable housing unit. The owner will pay or reimburse the tenant for any actual
reasonable moving expenses.

moving schedule maintained by the City in accordance with the
Uniform Act), plus a dislocation allowance of$200.
4. Notice to Vacate - Housing Differential Cost Payment:
(a) If a suitable replacement housing unit cannot be obtained at a monthly housing
cost within the tenant's ability to pay and government assistance that would satisfy
this requirement cannot be secured, the owner's obligation under these guidelines
may be satisfied by providing the tenant a payment necessary to reduce the monthly
housing cost to the tenant's ability to pay for a period of one year.
, - , , . -6-
� (b) Implementing Guideline:
(1) A displaced tenant is entitled to a payment equal to involve (12) times the
amount necessary to reduce the monthly housing cost of the suitable replacement
unit to the greater of 30% of the tenant's monthly gross income, or the tenant's
actua! forrner housing cost. The owner needs to rnake this differential cost
payment only to tenants who have occupied the displacernent unit for at least
90 days prior to the closing of the owner's loan for the project; and to tenants
who have entered into a valid written lease or rental agreernent for tt�e suitable
replacernent unit.
(2) The monthly housing cost for the replacement unit should be the cost for a
housing unit that is functionally equivalent and substantially the same as the
tenanX's displacement unit. In the event the tenant occupies a substantially
different replacement unit, the owner is obligated only to make a differential
payment to reduce the monthly housing cost of a cornparable replacement
unit (determined by the applicable rental schedule maintained by the City
in accordance with the Uniform Act).
VI. CITY REVIEW

City will take whatever corrective action is determined necessary to insure compliance.
