In addition to receiving compensation for the property taken, the property owner may also be entitled to relocation benefits. Relocation rights are often governed under federal law and are determined independently of the property's value. In some cases, the expense of moving may be greater than the value of the property condemned, especially with industrial sites. Fixtures and large machinery may require specialized movers for moving and reconnecting, and it is important that the government reimburse for all such costs. In addition, there are situations where business losses are compensable under the relocation laws. Most importantly, a relocation of a business must be timely and designed to minimize business interruption.
Protection of the property owner is the primary concern of the lawyers at Denlow & Henry. Call or e-mail us today.
For the homeowner, relocation considerations may include the need to find a replacement dwelling within the same area as the condemned home. The government is obligated to assist in finding a suitable replacement site and yet it may fail to do so. Relocation may also permit hardship benefits to be applied. At Denlow & Henry, we can fully secure the homeowner's relocation rights.
For either the business owner or homeowner, their biggest concern is that the government may seek to seize possession of the condemned property before the replacement site is ready. At Denlow & Henry, we protect the property owner and use the relocation law to safeguard his rights.
