A:
The concept of "displacement assistance" typically refers to efforts made by government agencies to help affected tenants find suitable housing, provide financial assistance, or offer other forms of support when they are forced to move due to a public project.
In California, there are laws like the "Relocation Assistance for Displaced Tenants Act" (RADT) that apply to certain types of displacement caused by public actions. These laws may require local government agencies to provide assistance to eligible displaced tenants.

A: Under California law, when a public entity acquires a property for a public project, the California Relocation Assistance Law generally mandates that the entity provide displacement assistance to eligible tenants. This can include advisory services, as well as financial help such as moving expenses and rent differential payments. The exact rights and amount of assistance can vary depending on several factors, so it would be advisable to review the specifics of your case.
