What happens if a landowner doesn t satisfy the conditions and contingencies for tentative cancellation?
If the landowner is unable to satisfy the conditions and contingencies enumerated in the certificate of tentative cancellation, the landowner must notify the board/council of the particular conditions or contingencies that cannot be satisfied. Within 30 days of receipt of the notice, based upon a determination that the landowner is unable to satisfy the conditions and contingencies listed, the board or council must execute and record a certificate of withdrawal of tentative approval of contract cancellation. However, the landowner will not be entitled to the refund of any cancellation fee paid (GC ยง51283.4(c)).
