New Resources Available on Evictions Moratorium
The Oregon Law Center has published a detailed overview and FAQ in English and Spanish for the new state evictions moratorium enacted by the Legislature last week through HB 4213. During the pandemic, tenants can defer paying their rent between April 1 and September 30, 2020. Landlords cannot evict tenants for nonpayment during this time. Tenants will have a six-month grace period (until March 31, 2021) to pay back the deferred rent. Landlords cannot charge late fees or other charges based on nonpayment of rent between April 1 and September 30. Landlords also cannot give notices of termination without cause or file for an eviction based on a termination without cause between April 1 and September 30. Visit the links above to learn more about the new provisions.
