Are you in LA proper? Under rent control? If so, evictions for major remodeling are no longer allowed. They're illegal. So, you might be able to get a lot more money out of him if he really wants you gone.
That aside, the relocation fee for legal evictions is $3,450 unless you have a minor child, are disabled, or are a senior citizen. In that case, the relocation fee is $8,550. I would take that into account when deciding to take his offer or not.
Also, think about the increased cost of rent, other deposits you'll have to put down, and moving expenses. |

You will need to work out your numbers and know your worth. Asking for unreasonable sum may back-fired. |

depends on where you live, if your in say NYC in a rent control apt, you would be foolish to take the 5 grand! It would cost you way more than that for the first/last months rent and a deposit, not to mention moving cost, electric, cable gas, Internet transfer fee's..and MAYBE a brokers fee...talk to an attorney before making a move! |

You are not saying why the landlord wants you to move. Is he/she selling the property or wanting a relative to move in? $5000.00 relocation is more than generous. Don't be greedy.
Follow Up: For Los Angeles, that is quite generous for relocation. All I got in a similar situation was $3000.00 and my security deposit, when the owner of my building wanted to renovate and retrofit. |

Are you looking a GIFT HORSE in the mouth here ???? FIVE GRAND to move and you are questioning the offer ???? |
|
Q
 |
If you are getting your security deposit back and then some, take the deal.
Most landlords wouldn't offer money to move.
If you get greedy, he would rescind the offer. |

There is no legal entitlement. Get whatever you can negotiate.
Although your landlord can't force you out for the remodeling project if you have a lease, he could damn sure make you wish you had taken the offer with all the noise and dust involved with a major renovation project.
Whether or not $5k is reasonable depends upon a lot of factors. If it's a $10k a month high-rise, it's a joke. If it's a typical $900 a month flat it's probably a more than fair offer. |

Everything is negotiable, but there is no way we can tell (unless you want me to pull out that magic 8 ball) |

Just try to negotiate, say I was really just getting settled in and moving out would inheret other fees; moving truck, movers, gas, security deposit, the time looking for new places, etc. Don't high-ball him instead make it a tempting offer so he can throw one back, try offering 7,000 and hopefully he will respond with 6,000. |
