The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued an eviction moratorium to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This means that landlords cannot evict tenants for non-payment of rent during the moratorium period. In this article, we will explore the details of the eviction moratorium, including who is affected, what landlords need to do, and what the consequences are for non-compliance.

The eviction moratorium was issued on September 4, 2020, and it is set to expire on December 31, 2020. During this time, landlords cannot evict tenants for non-payment of rent, regardless of whether the tenant has a lease or is a month-to-month tenant. The moratorium applies to all residential properties, including single-family homes, apartments, and condominiums.

However, there are some exceptions to the moratorium. Landlords can still evict tenants for reasons other than non-payment of rent, such as for violating the terms of the lease or for causing damage to the property. Additionally, landlords can still evict tenants who are not eligible for the moratorium, such as those who are not behind on their rent or who have a lease that expires before the moratorium ends.

Landlords who are affected by the eviction moratorium should take the following steps:

  • Review their lease agreements to determine which tenants are eligible for the moratorium.
  • Communicate with their tenants to discuss the moratorium and its implications.
  • Consider offering alternative payment plans or accommodations to tenants who are struggling to pay their rent.
  • Keep accurate records of all communications with tenants and any changes to payment plans or accommodations.

The consequences of non-compliance with the eviction moratorium can be severe. Landlords who evict tenants in violation of the moratorium may be subject to fines and penalties, and they may also be liable for damages to the tenant. Additionally, landlords who engage in discriminatory behavior or harassment of tenants may be subject to legal action.

In conclusion, the CDC eviction moratorium is an important tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting tenants from eviction. Landlords who are affected by the moratorium should take the necessary steps to comply with its requirements and to communicate with their tenants about the moratorium and its implications.
