On August 31, the State passed legislation prohibiting evictions of tenants before February 1, 2021 as a result of rent owed due to a COVID-19 related hardship accrued between March 4 – August 31, 2020.

Residents should continue to make payments if they can, and should coordinate with their mortgage servicer or property management.
