Bill overview
This bill, the Moratorium on Coronavirus Evictions Act, temporarily pauses eviction proceedings for tenants in certain federally assisted housing. It establishes a 120-day moratorium on landlords filing lawsuits to evict tenants for non-payment of rent or related fees and charges. The moratorium applies to dwellings that participate in programs like the Violence Against Women Act or the rural housing voucher program, or have federally backed mortgages. Landlords must provide tenants with 30 days’ notice to vacate before issuing such a notice.
