Evictions have become a hot topic as the pandemic continues. The federal eviction moratorium orders for non-payment of rent are in place until the end of 2020. However, in most cases, a state, county, or city order supersedes this national ban; especially if it provides the same or greater level of public-health protections. With so much eviction moratorium information out there, we want to give you one spot to find it all for your state, district, or territory governmental eviction process and resource links.
Note: Be sure to check your city, county, and local agencies for additional regulations and orders not addressed on these state-level links. The remarks and curated links below are for information purposes only and not to be considered legal advice.
Landlords and Property Managers: Before taking any action against a tenant for non-payment (including serving notices), in addition to becoming familiar with the CDC eviction moratorium and your state and local eviction bans, consult a local attorney familiar with rental laws and evictions.
Tenants and Renters: Before withholding rent from a landlord first understand your local, state, and federal regulations regarding the qualifications for eviction protection such as providing proof of hardship and submitting the forms and affidavits to your landlord as required.
