In the event that a rental housing business is closed by the city or any agency acting on behalf of or in coordination with the city stemming from enforcement of the provisions of this chapter or any applicable criminal code or any health, building, fire, housing or life-safety code, or other serious violations, it shall be a prerequisite condition for the license to be reinstated and/or the rental housing units to be allowed to be available for rental that the operator of the rental housing business reimburse the city for any transitional costs and/or tenant relocation costs incurred by the city that are directly attributable to such closure. For the purposes hereof, “transitional costs and/or tenant relocation costs” include but are not limited to tenant travel costs and temporary hotel vouchers or other expenses incurred to procure alternate housing following tenant displacement for a reasonable time to alleviate the impacts of displacement. The amounts of such costs shall be as determined in the discretion of the mayor in consultation with the director and with representatives of agencies engaged in providing social services within the city. It is provided, however, that nothing in this chapter shall preclude the city from seeking and obtaining funds from grants or other sources to cover or help defray the transitional costs, and receipt of such grants or other funds shall not relieve the operators of the rental housing businesses from the reimbursement requirements hereof. (Ord. 6755 § 3 (Exh. C), 2019; Ord. 5882 § 1, 2005; Ord. 5651 § 1, 2002.)
