The Commercial Eviction Moratorium issued on April 1, 2020 by Governor Brown protects tenants suffering significant loss of revenue due to the “Stay Home, Save Lives” orders from being evicted.
The order remains in effect for a period of 90 days from the executed day.
Landlords are not allowed to charge late fees for late rent during this same period.
The rent for this period is still due, along with additional charges specific to the leases, such as utilities and taxes (if applicable).
Tenants must show evidence of revenue loss due to the governmental restrictions.
