Eviction Moratorium

What is the Eviction Moratorium?

The Eviction Moratorium began in March of 2020.

What does the eviction moratorium do?

Prevents ALL evictions or terminations of tenancy for any reason, except "where the health and safety of residents is at risk."

What if someone isn't paying rent?

Since March 2020, if a tenant is not paying rent, an owner cannot terminate the tenancy.

But you can get rid of them if they violate the lease, right?

No, you cannot.

but you get them out if you need to move in, right?

No, you cannot.

but isn't the covid emergency over?

Not yet, according to the city health official. However, the Governor has declared the state's state of emergency will end on February 28, 2023. The state of emergency is what gave local elected officials the authority to enact emergency regulation such as the Eviction Moratorium. Once those emergency powers have expired, so should the eviction moratorium.

but once the state of emergency is over, the moratorium will expire, right?

Not if the City Council decides to abuse their power by continuing to enact law without the approval of the voter.
