Bill anticipates millions in state and federal aid for renters, landlords by new deadline of Feb. 28, 2022.
A strong bipartisan vote of the Oregon Senate has advanced a bill that gives tenants more time to pay past-due rent and protects their future ability to rent.
The 25-5 vote on Wednesday, April 14, sent Senate Bill 282 to the House, where the chairwoman of the relevant committee has already taken part in shaping the bill.
Its key provision would not extend the current pandemic-related moratorium on evictions past June 30, or forgive back rent. But the bill would give tenants until Feb. 28, 2022, to pay back any rents due from April 1, 2020, or make arrangements to obtain rental assistance. The current deadline is June 30.
