§ 2-902. Eligibility coverage.

(a)

Except as provided herein, advisory service and relocation assistance payments shall be offered to all displaced persons legally occupying property to be acquired. To be eligible for relocation assistance payments, displacement must be a direct result of the acquisition of real property which is within a designated project area. The occupancy of acquired property may be by the owner, a tenant, or by a licensee. Those eligible shall not include any person not having a legal right to occupy the acquired property, which but for the taking, would extend beyond the date full possession of the property is required by the condemning authority. Even though a taking of the property has occurred, at the option of the relocation officer, if such action is in the best interests of the condemning authority, in lieu of paying relocation assistance payments, a tenant or licensee who would otherwise be displaced, may be allowed to remain in possession for the remaining term of its lease or license.

(b)

Advisory service (but not relocation assistance payments) shall be offered to any person occupying property adjacent to the project area who, in the determination of the administering agency, is caused substantial economic injury because of the project.
