Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation that extends the state-wide eviction moratorium through Sept. 30, 2021, and clear rent debt for low-income residents that have experienced COVID-19 related financial hardships.
The state’s announcement follows last week’s actions by the Biden Administration to extend the Federal Eviction Moratorium as well as the Board of Supervisors’ extension of the Los Angeles County’s Temporary Eviction Moratorium.
California Assembly Bill 832 extends the State’s current eviction moratorium through Sept 30, 2021. The bill ensures that California uses more than $5 billion in federal rental assistance provided by the Biden Administration to help the state’s tenants and small landlords and protect at-risk households from eviction.
