(a) When a rental dwelling license or provisional license has been revoked, denied,
or canceled based on condemnation, such action having been attributable to inadequate
maintenance or management by the landlord, the landlord, as that term is defined in
Minn. Statute Section 504B.001, shall pay relocation assistance to the tenant of any
affected dwelling unit occupied at any point between the date the revocation, denial
or cancelation is noticed and the date the revocation, denial or cancelation becomes
final. The requirement imposed by this subsection to pay relocation assistance shall
also apply to any tenants a landlord allows to occupy an affected dwelling unit after
the revocation, denial, or cancelation becomes final and prior to the issuance of
a new and valid rental dwelling license. The requirement shall additionally apply
when tenants are required to vacate an unlicensed dwelling unit pursuant to section
244.1970, when such vacation is caused by the landlord or property owner's failure to obtain
or qualify for a valid and current rental dwelling license or provisional license,
after notice, upon proper application as required by this chapter. Upon the commencement
or occurrence of a qualifying revocation, denial or cancelation action, the city shall
notify the landlord of the requirements of this section, and provide a copy of such
notice to the tenants. The relocation assistance shall be in an amount equal to three
(3) months of the current total monthly contract rent, or actual rent if demonstrably
higher. The relocation assistance shall be paid without regard to whether the tenant
is current on rent or other charges or fees owed, and not later than the day the tenant
is ordered to vacate pursuant to sections 244.1970 or 244.1925 of this Code, or within
