El Paso County to resume apartment evictions on Jan. 26; but Biden’s proposed stimulus could extend moratorium into fall
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) A local landlord attorney and an El Paso County court magistrate confirmed Friday that the county will soon return to holding eviction hearings that have been suspended during most of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Thursday, attorneys for landlords and property managers began filing requests for hearings and the first is scheduled for Jan. 26 five days before a moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent mandated by the Centers for Disease Control, expires.
However, that date will be moot if Congress passes a proposed stimulus package from President-elect Joe Biden, extending the moratorium through the end of September.
