At Tuesday’s City Council meeting on Tuesday, May 26th, council members voted to extend the current rent eviction moratorium for commercial and residential tenants – which was due to expire on May 31st – to continue in place until July 31st, 2020.
This is welcomed news for those who have been unable to pay their rent due to financial hardships resulting from the impact of COVID-19. As part of this extension, deferred rent payments for April, May, June, and July can now be paid to start from August until the end of January 2021.
