🗓August 3, 2021, CDC issued an Agency Order titled Temporary Halt in Residential Evictions In Communities With Substantial or High Levels of Community Transmission of COVID-19 to Prevent the Further Spread of COVID-19 (Order). The Order went into effect immediately, but does not operate retroactively.

The Order prohibits residential landlords nationwide from evicting certain tenants through October 3, 2021, and protects tenants who:
1️⃣have used their best efforts to obtain gov assistance for housing.
2️⃣are unable to pay their full rent due to a substantial loss of income
3️⃣are making their best efforts to make timely partial payments of rent
4️⃣would become homeless or have to move into a shared living setting if they were to be evicted, and
5️⃣reside in a U.S. county experiencing substantial or high rates of community transmission levels of COVID-19 as defined by the CDC.
This is a a national moratorium. Some states have put more strict regulations in place. Are you in a state that has separate eviction guidelines during the pandemic?
Definition- Eviction is the civil process by which a landlord may legally remove a tenant from their rental property.
Rental properties and all parties involved in lease agreements are subject to landlord–tenant laws. Landlords can’t evict tenants without good cause. Reasons include nonpayment of rent, damages, illegal activity, violating the terms of a lease, or if the landlord wishes to take possession of the property. Unpaid rent is the most common reason for eviction. In some states, landlords can evict tenant without cause. In most cases, eviction is the last option.
We know this is controversial, and there are people on both sides that are suffering. Have you as a landlord been impacted? Do you have tenants that have communicated their struggles? Have you gotten relief on your mortgage payments? Do you have requirements that your tenants show proof of financial hardship?
