Overview
This bill creates a legal defense for tenants facing eviction due to unpaid rent if they can demonstrate a hardship related to their Social Security benefits. Specifically, it allows tenants to claim that their Social Security benefits were interrupted or reduced due to the federal government’s actions, preventing them from paying rent. If successful, the eviction process will be paused until benefits are restored or six months have passed.
