In August, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation protecting renters from eviction due to inability to pay for COVID related reasons. This legislation stipulates that no tenant can be evicted before February 1, 2021, due to rent owed or unpaid between March 4, 020 and August 31, 2020. For more information on COVID-related issues, back payments, and other issues, please review the press release from the Governor’s Office here.
