Owner and relative move-in evictions have long been the bane of tenants’ advocates after a few bad apples spoiled the bunch by acting in bad faith and with ulterior motives. The distrust of these types of evictions is reflected in an abundance of oversight and a host of procedural requirements for owners to follow.
In fact, most of the cases we handle are for new homeowners who have achieved success in life and want to purchase a tenant-occupied property to realize their dreams of home ownership. Or an owner who recently gave birth and wants to move in their retired parent to help raise a child.
The public policy behind these regulations is to keep people housed, especially those who are vulnerable or those persons tethered in some way to a school district. With school about to go on summer recess, owners now have a window of opportunity to use their property as they see fit, with many caveats and hefty relocation payments to soften the landing of outgoing residents.
We pay homage to all dedicated school employees doing an outstanding job in the important role they serve. As parents, we also recognize that transitioning children out of their surroundings may require a bit of hand-holding.
Informing the household that there is a chapter change in the status of the building may be a difficult conversion to broach but one that can be made easier with proper counsel.
