"dwelling" includes a 	co n dominium or 	cooperative

(c) 	Applications for 	supplementary payments
shall be on 	a 	form approved by the corporation and
shall be 	filed with the state agency no 	later 	than
eighteen months after the date on which the displaced
individual or 	family was required to vacate the
dwelling taken for the project, 	or six months after
final 	adjudication of the condemnation case, 	whichever
is later.
(d) 	The p ayments described in this section shall
be made directly to the lessor for rent or to the
seller for application on payment for a 	decent, 	safe,
and sanitary dwelling. 	Upon 	specific request 	in the
application, 	the state agency may make payments into
escrow prior to the displaced person's moving.
(e) 	Prior to any p ayment, 	the state agency shall
cause the proposed 	replacement dwelling to be
inspected to ascertain that it meets the standards
established herein for decent, 	safe, 	and sanitary
housing.
(f) 	An advance 	replacement 	housing payment 	can
be computed and paid to a 	property owner if the
determination of 	the state's acquisition price will 	be
delayed pending the outcome of condemnation
proceedings. 	A provisional 	replacement 	housing
payment 	shall be calculated by deeming 	the State's
maximum offer for the property as the acquisition
price. 	Payment 	of such 	amount may be made upon the
owner-occupant's 	agreement that:
(1) 	Upon final determination of the condemnation
proceeding the replacement housing payment
will be recomputed using the acquisition
price determined by the court as compared to
the average price 	required to acquire a
comparable decent, 	safe, 	and sanitary
dwelling; 	and
(2) 	If 	the amount awarded in the condemnation
proceeding as the 	fair market 	value of the
property acquired plus the amount of the

However, 	in 	no 	event, 	shall 	the 	owner be
required 	to 	refund more 	than 	the 	amount 	of

the 	dwelling meets 	the 	requirements 	of 	section

within 	the one 	year period.
(h} 	If 	two 	or more 	eligible 	displaced persons
occupy 	the 	same 	dwelling 	unit, 	they 	should be 	treated
as 	a single 	unit 	in 	computing 	the 	amount 	of 	the
replacement 	housing 	payment 	due. 	In 	order 	to 	receive
payment, 	such 	displaced persons 	shall 	not 	be 	required
to 	relocate 	together 	but 	all 	relocatees 	must 	move 	to

be made 	to 	them 	jointly with 	the 	apportionment 	to 	be
made 	by 	the_relocatees.
(i) 	Where 	displaced 	individuals 	or 	families
occupy 	living 	quarters 	on 	the 	same premises 	as 	a
displaced business, 	farm, 	or 	nonprofit 	organization,
such 	individuals 	or 	families 	are 	separate 	displaced

relocation payments.
(j} 	The 	person who 	establishes 	the 	estimate 	of
value 	of 	replacement 	housing 	payment 	shall 	not
negotiate 	for 	the 	parcel 	nor 	deliver 	the 	payment 	to
the 	displaced 	person. 	This 	also 	is 	applicable 	to

However, 	in no event, 	shall the owner be

If the property owner does not agree to such
adjustment, 	the replacement housing payment
shall be deferred until the case is 	finally

occupy the same dwelling unit, 	they should be treated
