April 1st 2022
COVID-19 Update
On April 1st, 2022 the current eviction moratorium (AB-832) fully comes to a close. This means for rent due April 1st, 2022 and after landlords can evict based on non-payment of rent without any requirement to apply for rental assistance. Once again, for rent due April 1st, 2022 and forward landlords can serve a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit and move forward with eviction if tenants refuse to leave or pay rent within 3 business days. If the tenants have a pending rental assistance application it does not affect Evictions based on non-payment of rent due April 1st and after.
Owners who are currently in the process of eviction. Nothing has changed in your case. Everything we have already explained to you about your case still applies. This information is solely for owners who are looking to start the process with a notice.
What about the eviction moratorium extension that is all over the news? This "extension" only applies to rent due before April 1st, 2022. AB-2179 protects tenants from eviction on rent due before April 1st, 2022 as long as they applied for rental assistance by March 31st, 2022. If the tenants applied before the deadline owners will have to wait until the application is denied before evicting for rent due before April 1st, 2022.
What about tenants that never applied for rental assistance? In theory, you can serve a 3-day notice for rent due October 1st, 2021, and forward as long as you have specific wording in your notice about the tenant's rights. Reach out to our office if you would like a copy of blank notices to serve to the tenants.
Please keep in mind that the law (AB1482) regarding 60-Day Notice Evictions (Tenancies over a year) was passed in 2019 and is in effect until 2030 and is not related to these covid laws. This means owners still need just cause for 60-Day Notices if they have not notified the tenants that they are exempt.

It allows evictions to move forward for tenants who do not sign that form or who fall under the category of "just cause" evictions laid out in AB 1482.
For tenants experiencing a Covid Hardship there is a rental relief available. This program assists with unpaid rent and utilities. The link to the application is: https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/.
