The national eviction moratorium has been extended to October 3, 2021. With this in place, landlords will no longer be able to evict tenants if the following are true:
Eviction would likely leave the tenant homeless;
The tenant tried their best to make timely rent payments as close to the full payment amount as their circumstances would allow;
The tenant lives in a county currently experiencing high rates of SARS-CoV-2 as defined by the CDC;
The tenant tried their best to obtain all available government assistance to pay their rent;
The tenant earned under $99,000 for a single person or $198,000 if filing jointly in 2020 OR expects to earn under $99,000 in annual income for 2021 for a single person or $198,000 if filing jointly, AND was not required to report income in 2020 OR received an Economic Impact Payment;
The tenant cannot pay their rent in full or make a payment due to a substantial loss of household income, decreased hours worked, decreased wages, a layoff, and/or other unusually high out-of-pocket expenses.
Tenants must meet the above conditions, contact their landlord and sign an affidavit of compliance in order to avoid eviction.
