[WSBARP] Sound Transit construction

[Kinnon Williams]

Mark,
If they are tenants they should be protected under the Relocation Assistance Act. Thus, if they are required to move they are entitled to both move costs which are unlimited and up to $50K in business re-establishment expenses.
It is important that you first review the condemnation clauses in the lease and advise your tenant clients to stay put until they receive a letter of eligibility from Sound Transit to cover their claim. With the ST projects taking so long many tenants leases will be expired by the time ST takes possession of the premises, so you need to weigh that as well.
There are a number of nuances in relocation and I would be more than happy to answer your questions directly.

Subject: [WSBARP] Sound Transit construction

What duties does a Landlord, whose property is next to Sound Transit, have to their tenants to notify them about potential expansions by Sound Transit.  So much depends upon what Sound Transit ultimately decides after years of study, feasibility and voting.
