During this time, the landlord has to give you certain notices required by state law: that you have the right to purchase the unit at no more than the initial offering price to the public, that you have a right to attend and protect the conversion at a local public hearing on the subject, and to specified notices regarding the progress of the condo conversion process. If the landlord fails to give you those notices, he doesn't get to convert the building, and he has to start over again. Once the condo conversion process is completed, and if you are still there, then he has to give you the 30 day eviction notice and either pay you the relocation money within 15 days of the eviction notice [Notice of Termination] or put that money into an escrow and give you a copy of those escrow instructions within that 15 days. If the landlord fails to do those things or give you the required relocation assistance described above, he can't evict you. Elderly and disabled tenants get longer notice, up to a year [LAMC 151.09(C)(4)(b)].

The ordinance and statutes are rather complicated. You can review them yourself here. http://www.caltenantlaw.com/LARSO.htm
