Moratorium ending: Although the moratorium is slated to expire Sept. 30, it won’t be business as usual come Oct. 1. Rules around the unlawful detainer process are changing.

Although the moratorium is slated to end, elements of the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act, which includes the limited local preemption, will carry on. For example, that law continues to prohibit local governments from creating their own eviction restrictions for nonpayment of rent through March 31, 2022.
The unlawful detainer process also is temporarily changing. Come Oct. 1 through March 31, 2022, rental property owners will be required to demonstrate they have applied for rental assistance prior to commencing an eviction for nonpayment.
