The Code Compliance Office or their designee will post the date the rental dwelling or RDU shall be vacated, and no person shall reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied that rental dwelling or RDU until the Code Compliance Official or Council permits it.
Under Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.10, when a rental dwelling or rental dwelling unit (RDU) is officially determined to be unfit for human habitation, the Code Compliance Official or their designee must post a notice on the unit's door prohibiting further occupancy. Only authorized officials may remove or alter that posting. The unit must remain vacant until the Code Compliance Official or the City Council formally permits reoccupancy.

Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.10 places significant obligations on property owners when a unit is posted as unfit for habitation. Compliant operators ensure that no tenant is allowed to remain in or re-enter a posted unit, that the official posting is left undisturbed, and that the property is brought into compliance before seeking authorization to reopen the unit. Operators typically work with the Code Compliance Office to address the underlying conditions and obtain formal clearance before allowing any occupancy to resume.

Under Corcoran Code of Ordinances ch. 118 § 118.10, tenants have a right to know when their unit has been officially deemed unfit for habitation, as a notice must be posted on the door with the required vacation date. If a landlord attempts to have you remain in, or return to, a posted unit without official clearance, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants in this situation may consider contacting the Corcoran Code Compliance Office directly, or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, to understand available options.
