What does it mean when occupants are described as "relocated"?

When occupants are described as "relocated" in the context of lead abatement activities, it specifically means that they have temporarily moved out during these procedures. This temporary relocation is necessary to ensure their safety and health while lead hazards are being addressed in the property. During abatement, which involves the removal or mitigation of lead-based paint and related hazards, occupants should not be present to avoid exposure to lead dust and debris. This ensures that the work can be conducted effectively and safely, allowing for a thorough remediation process.

In contrast, a permanent move out of the property, whether due to personal choice or other circumstances, does not meet the definition of relocation in this situation. The term is specifically used to indicate a temporary situation tied to the safety protocols surrounding lead abatement work.
