Plano does not require landlords to pay relocation assistance to tenants displaced by sale, demolition, or substantial renovation. Texas does not preempt the topic explicitly, but local relocation-payment ordinances are unusual and Plano City Council has not adopted one.
Cities such as Los Angeles and Portland require thousand-dollar relocation payouts for no-fault displacement, but Plano follows the Texas baseline: a properly noticed lease termination requires no severance to the displaced tenant. The only exception is mandatory relocation assistance under federal law for displacement caused by federally funded Plano projects, governed by the Uniform Relocation Act. Private sales, owner move-ins, and standard redevelopment projects do not trigger any payment. Tenants may still negotiate cash-for-keys arrangements voluntarily, particularly when an investor wants to deliver a vacant unit at closing.
Tenants displaced by federally funded Plano projects without proper Uniform Relocation Act payments can sue HUD and the city for compensation plus moving costs.
