A. The relocation of a tenant household pursuant to this chapter shall not terminate the tenancy of the relocated household. The relocated household shall have the right to reoccupy the unit or room from which it was relocated as soon as the unit or room is ready for reoccupancy, and the tenant household shall retain all rights of tenancy that existed prior to the displacement.

B. If a household wishes to avail itself of this option, it must inform the owner of its current address during the period of relocation.

C. For tenant households displaced for thirty (30) consecutive days or more, owners shall notify the tenant household at least thirty (30) days in advance of the availability of the unit or room. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of availability, a tenant household must notify the owner if it wishes to reoccupy the unit or room. The owner must hold the unit or room vacant at no cost to the tenant household for thirty (30) days from the date the tenant household’s written notice of its intent to reoccupy the unit or room is received.

D. For households displaced for twenty-nine (29) consecutive days or less and receiving a per diem payment, owners shall notify the household at least one day in advance of the availability of the unit or room. The household shall be entitled to receive a per diem payment for up to twenty-four (24) hours after receiving such notice that the unit or room is ready for occupancy. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of availability from the owner, the household must notify the owner of its intent to reoccupy the unit or room.

E. A unit or room shall be deemed to be permanently surrendered and the tenancy terminated when the tenant household provides notice in writing to the owner that it does not intend to reoccupy the unit or room from which it was relocated or does not notify the owner of its intent to reoccupy the unit or room. If the owner has not made relocation payments as required by this chapter and the unit or room becomes permanently vacated, then it shall be presumed that the surrender of the right of possession of the unit or room was involuntary unless the owner has received a written notice from the tenant household permanently surrendering its right to their unit or room.
