An OMI (Owner Move-In) allows the owner to recover a unit for their own primary residence. An RMI (Relative Move-In) allows recovery of a unit for a qualified close relative. Both require relocation payments to the displaced tenant, specific legal notices, proper timelines, and a long-term occupancy commitment. Both are prohibited when the tenant is protected. The requirements are strict and the obligations continue after the eviction. I help buyers evaluate whether owner occupancy is legally feasible before they build a purchase strategy around it.
