Federal Eviction Moratorium extended to June 30th

UNDATED – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced earlier this week that the federal eviction moratorium was extended through June 30, 2021. 

Under the CDC order:

  • Renters cannot be evicted for nonpayment of rent if they sign and submit a declaration form (English I Spanish) to their landlord, property owner, or property manager
  • Renters who previously signed a declaration and submitted it to their landlord should not be asked to resubmit one and will have continued protection until June 30, 2021

The CDC order does not relieve the renters’ obligation to pay rent. Further, renters must continue to comply with the terms of their lease. For more information, read the CDC’s frequently asked questions
