Amount of Payment
The continued occupancy incentive payment for each approved
project will be based on the overall average rent for residential
properties within the project, multiplied by four months. ROW PD
will provide rental rates for dwellings on the project, along with
the request to utilize this payment. The ROW Program Office will
analyze these rates and establish an average rent. There are no
provisions for a partial payment, only the full amount, if the displaced
tenant continues to occupy the displacement site until TxDOT’s possession,
either through negotiations or eminent domain. If for any reason
the displaced tenant decides to move prior to TxDOT’s possession, he/she forfeits any
claim to this incentive payment.
