Builds on the Governor\u2019s previous executive action authorizing local governments to\u00a0halt evictions<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

SACRAMENTO \u2013 Governor Gavin Newsom today issued an executive order banning the enforcement of eviction orders for renters affected by COVID-19 through May 31, 2020. The order prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for nonpayment of rent and prohibits enforcement of evictions by law enforcement or courts. It also requires tenants to declare in writing, no more than seven days after the rent comes due, that the tenant cannot pay all or part of their rent due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The tenant would be required to retain documentation but not required to submit it to the landlord in advance. And the tenant would remain obligated to repay full rent in \u201ca timely manner\u201d and could still face eviction after the enforcement moratorium is lifted. The order takes effect immediately, and provides immediate relief to tenants for whom rent is due on April 1st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s action builds on Governor Newsom\u2019s previous\u00a0executive order<\/a>\u00a0authorizing local governments to halt evictions for renters impacted by the pandemic.<\/p>\n
