1. In addition to amounts otherwise authorized by this chapter, a displacing agency shall
make a payment to or for any displaced person displaced from any dwelling not
eligible to receive a payment under section 54-01.1-04, which dwelling was actually
and lawfully occupied by the displaced person for not less than ninety days prior to:
a. The initiation of negotiations for acquisition of such dwelling; or
b. In any case in which displacement is not a direct result of acquisition, such other
event as the state agency may prescribe.
The payment must consist of the amount necessary to enable the person to lease or
rent for a period not to exceed forty-two months, a comparable replacement dwelling,
but not to exceed five thousand two hundred fifty dollars. At the discretion of the

displacing agency, a payment under this subsection may be made in periodic
installments. Computation of a payment under this subsection to a low-income
displaced person for a comparable replacement dwelling must take into account such
person's income.
2. Any person eligible for a payment under subsection 1 may elect to apply the payment
to a downpayment on, and other incidental expenses pursuant to, the purchase of a
decent, safe, and sanitary replacement dwelling. At the discretion of the displacing
agency, any such person may be eligible under this subsection for the maximum
payment allowed under subsection 1, except that, in the case of a displaced
homeowner who has owned and occupied the displacement dwelling for at least ninety
days but not more than one hundred eighty days immediately prior to the initiation of
negotiations for the acquisition of the dwelling, the payment may not exceed the
payment the person would otherwise have received under subsection 1 of section
54-01.1-04 had the person owned and occupied the displacement dwelling one
hundred eighty days immediately prior to the initiation of such negotiations.
