EDC LEGAL ALERT – Protections for Residential Tenants, Homeowners and Small Landlords

by  •  • Comments Off on EDC LEGAL ALERT – Protections for Residential Tenants, Homeowners and Small Landlords
TENANT, HOMEOWNER, AND SMALL LANDLORD RELIEF AND STABILIZATION ACT
On August 31, Governor Newsom signed the Tenant, Homeowner, and Small Landlord Relief and Stabilization Act of 2020 (the “Act”), urgency legislation that immediately went into effect on September 1. The Act provides temporary relief for financially distressed residential tenants, homeowners and small landlords to avoid widespread evictions and foreclosures due to COVID-19 financial hardships.
Although the Act provides some relief for residential landlords and tenants, including mobile home tenants and assessor dwelling unit rentals, the Act does not include protections for commercial landlords and tenants, who must continue to rely on existing state law, local eviction moratoriums and legal advice for guidance.
