Displaced through no fault of yours
A "red tag" or condemnation is when a city or county official determines a unit is unsafe or unlawful to occupy and orders that it not be lived in. It usually means the building department has found serious code or safety problems.
If your unit is red-tagged, you may be required to leave, sometimes on a set timeline, because the government has deemed it unsafe. This is stressful, but you still have rights. The order is generally aimed at the landlord's unlawful or unsafe use of the property, and being displaced through no fault of your own can trigger protections.
In many California cities, landlords owe displaced tenants relocation assistance when a unit is red-tagged or condemned due to the landlord's violations — but these rules are local and vary, so the amount and availability depend on where you live.
Get the official notice in writing, note the deadline, and avoid rushing decisions before you understand your rights. A free, confidential review can look at the red-tag notice and your situation and explain what relocation help or other options may apply.
