California Eviction Moratorium

Previous State law provided eviction and foreclosure protections for many residential tenants and property owners suffering from economic hardship due to COVID-19.  Under the legislation, no tenant could be evicted before Feb. 1, 2021 as a result of rent owed due to a COVID-19 related hardship accrued between March 4 – Aug. 31, 2020, if the tenant provided a declaration of hardship according to the legislation’s timelines.
