Oakland Mun. Code Chapter 8.22 § 8.22.800
Purpose (Oakland Rent Adjustment Program and Just Cause for Eviction Ordinances)
Operative Text
The purpose of this Section is to establish an uniform amount for relocation payments for tenants displaced by no-fault evictions.
Oakland Municipal Code Chapter 8.22 § 8.22.800 establishes the overarching goal of creating a standardized relocation payment amount for tenants who are displaced through no-fault evictions. By setting a uniform figure, the rule aims to bring consistency to what landlords must pay and what tenants can expect when they are removed from their homes through no fault of their own.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8.22.800, Oakland has established a uniform relocation payment framework that applies when operators carry out no-fault evictions, meaning the amount owed is set by the code rather than determined case by case. Compliant property owners and managers familiarize themselves with this standardized figure before initiating any no-fault eviction process.

Section 8.22.800 signals that Oakland has set a consistent baseline for relocation assistance when tenants are displaced through no-fault evictions, giving renters a defined entitlement rather than an amount subject to negotiation. Tenants who believe they are owed relocation payments under this chapter may explore options such as filing a complaint with Oakland's rent adjustment program or consulting a local tenant-rights organization for guidance.
