AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The Federal Eviction Moratorium has been extended, so anyone who has fallen behind on rent during the pandemic will now have until June 30, to apply for renter eviction assistance.
“If they meet all the criteria on the declaration, then their eviction may be abated, meaning it’ll be stopped temporarily,” said Kay Pechin, managing attorney, Legal Aid of Northwest Texas, Amarillo branch.
Legal Aid of Northwest Texas says the two most important things they look out for is if you’ve tried you best to pay rent to your landlord and you’ve applied for all government assistance programs available.
