        316.6  REPLACEMENT HOUSING FOR TENANTS AND CERTAIN
      OTHERS.
         In addition to amounts otherwise authorized by this chapter, the
      displacing agency shall make a payment to or for a displaced person,
      displaced from a dwelling, not eligible to receive a payment under
      section 316.5, which dwelling was actually and lawfully occupied by
      the displaced person for not less than ninety days immediately prior
      to the initiation of negotiations for acquisition of the dwelling, or
      as a result of the written order of the displacing agency to vacate
      the real property.  All determinations to carry out this section
      shall be made in accordance with administrative rules adopted by the
      department.  The displaced person may elect either of the following:
         1.  The amount necessary to enable the displaced person to lease
      or rent a comparable replacement dwelling.  At the discretion of the
      displacing agency, a payment under this subsection may be made in
      periodic installments.  Computations of a payment under this
      subsection to a low-income displaced person for a comparable
      replacement dwelling shall take into account the person's income.
         2.  The amount necessary to enable the person to make a down
      payment, including incidental expenses described in section 316.5,
      subsection 1, paragraph "c", on the purchase of a decent, safe,
      and sanitary dwelling.  The person may, at the discretion of the
      displacing agency, be eligible under this subsection for the maximum
      payment allowed under subsection 1, except that, in the case of a
      displaced homeowner who has owned and occupied the displaced dwelling
      for at least ninety days but not more than one hundred and eighty
      days immediately prior to the initiation of negotiations for the
      acquisition of the dwelling, the payment shall not exceed the payment
      the person would otherwise have received under section 316.5,
      subsection 1, had the person owned and occupied the displaced
      dwelling for one hundred and eighty days immediately prior to the
      initiation of the negotiations.
