COVID-19 Eviction Moratorium

Do you Qualify?

If these five statements apply to you, you may qualify for this order.

• You have done your best to take advantage of government assistance for housing and rent
• You meet income requirements, meaning ONE of these is true:
• You will earn less than $99,000 (or $198,000 when combined with your spouse) this year
• You weren’t required to pay taxes in 2019
• You qualified for an income stimulus check earlier this year.
• You are unable to make your full rent or housing payment because of a loss of income or large medical expense
• You are currently doing your best to make timely partial housing payments that are as close to the full payment as possible
• If evicted, you would either become homeless or enter a shared living space (like living with a family member or staying at a shelter).

Eligibility and qualification requirements described here are determined by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Individuals should contact the resources listed on this page below for help determining their eligibility.

Your Next Steps

1. Every adult listed on your lease should fill out the declaration.
View Declaration
2. Take the declaration(s) to your landlord.
3. Make sure to document that you delivered the declaration — by video, by getting a signature, or through certified mail.

Please note that this order only delays evictions. You are still required to pay rent and other housing payments, including late fees and penalties. You still need to follow the terms of your lease or other contract — this order does not prevent evictions for reasons other than delinquent payments.
