Re: relocating costs of tenants

This is not true in general but it might be true where you live, because some cities have local rent-control ordinances that restrict the usual statewide notice-and-eviction laws.

You could ask other tenants, or look in the city government pages of your phone book for an agency that looks like it administers rent control, then call and inquire.
