A landlord cannot evict a tenant as long as the tenant provides notice within 30 days after their rent was due that they are unable to pay because of financial impacts related to the pandemic, according to the county.

Renters have up to 90 days after the expiration of the resolution to repay back rent. The resolution encourages renters and landlords to agree on a repayment plan that allows renters to partially pay rent during the eviction moratorium. A landlord may not charge a late fee for rent that was owed during the eviction moratorium or the 90-day period that follows, according to the county.
