Bill overview
This bill, the Rental Eviction Moratorium Act of 2020, temporarily prevents landlords from starting eviction proceedings against tenants for non-payment of rent. The moratorium will remain in effect until six months after the President ends the COVID-19 emergency declaration. However, landlords can initiate eviction proceedings if a tenant has committed a serious criminal act that threatens the safety of others. This legislation aims to reduce homelessness and housing instability during the pandemic.
