California eviction moratorium extension
The statement from Newsom's office is here: https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/01...
I do not believe this has been approved by the legislature yet.
I've linked 2 other interpretations of the extension proposal below
https://abc7news.com/ca-evicti...
"If landlords refuse that deal, the state would pay them 25% of their tenants' unpaid rent. That would ensure those tenants qualify for the state's eviction protections and could not be kicked out of their homes until after June 30."
https://calmatters.org/califor...
"Should landlords not agree to accept the rental relief dollars, the deal instructs courts to reduce damages owed the landlord, assuming the tenant met the eligibility requirements."
I am struggling to understand what would occur if a landlord did not want to accept the terms of the assistance. It sounds like the courts are being instructed to enforce the moratorium anyway. Does anyone have a better source for what not accepting means?
