Penalty
Operative Text
(a) Violations. A violation of this division is subject to any penalties as provided for in chapter 102 . Notwithstanding any provision of chapter 102 , the penalty for a violation of section 1201.109 or 1201.110 shall be the sum of the applicable amount of relocation assistance plus $500.00. (b) Number of offenses. A violation of this division shall constitute a separate offense for each dwelling unit affected. (c) Transfer of funds. Within 30 days after a person pays the penalty in subsection (a) of this section to the city, the city shall pay to the displaced tenant of the housing unit in which the violation occurred an amount equal to the relocation assistance amount specified in section 1201.110 (b). (d) Additional redress. In addition, any tenant aggrieved by a landlord's noncompliance with this division may seek redress in any court of competent jurisdiction to the extent permitted by law.
Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.112 establishes a penalty framework for violations of the city's rent-regulation division. Violations of the relocation-assistance provisions (§§ 1201.109–1201.110) carry a specific penalty equal to the required relocation assistance amount plus $500, and each affected dwelling unit counts as a separate offense. When a penalty is paid to the city, the city must forward the relocation-assistance portion to the displaced tenant within 30 days, and tenants retain the right to pursue additional remedies in court.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.112, operators who fail to comply with the division's relocation-assistance requirements face a penalty calculated as the full relocation-assistance amount owed plus $500 per affected unit — meaning a single property with multiple non-compliant units can generate multiple separate penalties. Compliant operators generally ensure that relocation assistance is paid in the correct amount and on time as specified in §§ 1201.109–1201.110, keeping documentation that demonstrates timely payment for each dwelling unit. Because tenants also retain the right to seek redress in court independent of any city enforcement action, maintaining clear records of compliance is a standard practice.

Roseville Code of Ordinances ch. 1201 § 1201.112 gives displaced tenants a direct financial stake in enforcement: when a landlord pays a penalty for a relocation-assistance violation, the city is required to pass the relocation-assistance portion of that penalty on to the affected tenant within 30 days. Beyond city enforcement, § 1201.112(d) expressly preserves a tenant's right to seek additional redress in any court of competent jurisdiction, meaning civil court is an available avenue separate from any city process. Tenants who believe their landlord has not complied with the relocation-assistance rules may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the full range of options available under this provision.
