On March 27, 2020, the federal government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). This gives qualified units a 120-day moratorium (or freeze) on evictions due to non-payment. This means that you cannot be evicted until the moratorium lifts on July 24, 2020.
- Any fees or penalties related to the non-payment of rent will also be halted.
- A tenant and family must repay any unpaid rent after the moratorium has been lifted.
- Please note that if you had a pending eviction prior to March 27, 2020, then once the courts re-open, you can be evicted prior to July 24, 2020.
