Gavin Newsom signed a law on June 28 extending the state’s eviction moratorium through Sept. 30. This is the third time the state has extended the moratorium. Newsom has said a fourth extension is unlikely.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's Being Done to Help People Facing Evictions?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California will pay off 100% of eligible tenants’ unpaid rent from April 2020 through Sept. 30, 2021. To be eligible, tenants must earn 80% or less of the area median income, an amount that varies depending on where they live. That money — $5.2 billion — comes from the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, nearly 113,000 people have requested more than $1 billion in relief.

After that date, if a landlord tries to evict someone, the tenant will have 14 days to apply for rental assistance. If the tenant refuses to apply or is denied eligibility and has not paid at least 25% of what is owed by Sept. 30, the tenant can be evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California still allows evictions right now for reasons other than unpaid rent, including breaking the lease agreement, damaging the property or using the property to do something illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How's the State of Affordability in California's Rental Markets These Days?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Not awesome. California’s major population centers, including Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, have some of the most expensive rental prices in the country.

"content": "\u003cp>[dropcap]S[/dropcap]ylvie Fraley describes the home she lived in with her mother and younger sister in the Santa Cruz Mountains community of Bonny Doon as “incredibly unique.” Her mom, Leigh-Anne Lehrman said “it was built by hippies, for sure.” Not only was it a beautiful home, but it had become a community gathering space — the place every high school after-prom party was hosted, every graduation, and every birthday, even special occasions for those outside their family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Aug. 15, 2020, the power went out at Fraley’s home as rare \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11833586/photos-rare-august-thunderstorm-sees-lightning-streak-across-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">lightning storms\u003c/a> approached. Then 18 years old, she was home with her younger sister while her mom stayed in Woodside undergoing cancer treatment. Fraley, bored without electricity, busied herself by walking through the house collecting items, just in case they would need to leave — if the lightning storms ignited a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only reason we took anything was because I was bored and had nothing else to do except to walk through the house and put stuff in a trash bag,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family is familiar with fire — in 2017, Fraley’s grandfather lost his North Bay home in the deadly and massively destructive \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire/\">Tubbs Fire\u003c/a>. Still, when Fraley and her sister left in the early hours of Aug. 16, after her mom sent a neighbor to look for them, they fully expected to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time many people woke up on Aug. 16, the widespread lightning storms had ignited numerous fires in and around the Santa Cruz Mountains, blazes that would later become known as the CZU Lightning Complex fires. In a March 2021 community meeting, Cal Fire said the CZU fires were the largest in the recorded history of Santa Cruz County. They killed one person, forced the evacuation of over 77,000 people in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties and destroyed 911 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not long after the CZU fires began, just a few miles away from Fraley’s home in the San Lorenzo Valley, Antoñia Bradford rushed around her house gathering her kids and dogs while frantically texting her husband who was in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I packed up my five kids and my two dogs and grabbed my father’s ashes and some paintings,” Bradford said, but, “the way that we were reading things, the fire was moving away from us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of days later, Bradford’s home – and Fraley’s – had been transformed into rubble and ash.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘I Can’t Abandon This Community’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Over 10 months after the CZU fires, many are still working to process and rebuild their lives — both physically and emotionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bradford, who has lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains for 13 years and appreciates how down-to-earth people are, is still mourning the losses. But she is committed to staying and rebuilding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t even express how challenging it is. The grief is so deep,” she said. “I can’t abandon this community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Leigh-Anne Lehrman, CZU fires survivor\"]‘Of all the things we lost in 2020, and there were a lot of them, the thing that I miss the most — that I don’t think I’ll ever, ever replicate in my life — is our community up there.’[/pullquote]A few days before KQED spoke to her, Bradford said a neighbor had dropped off soup for her — someone she had never met before. “The people here are amazing, and I feel like I would be really hard pressed to find that anywhere else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leigh-Anne Lehrman, Fraley’s mom, ranked the loss of community as the one she feels most keenly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Of all the things we lost in 2020, and there were a lot of them, the thing that I miss the most — that I don’t think I’ll ever, ever replicate in my life — is our community up there,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Priced Out\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fraley and Lehrman, who were renters, said they were priced out after losing their home to the CZU fires. Lehrman said they had a hard time finding a place, even though they had financial assistance in the form of insurance money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rent’s just shot up,” she said, adding that they were lucky to have found the place they did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lehrman said it was the 40th place she contacted before someone responded. If they didn’t have the insurance money, she said there’s no way they would be able to afford it. Since the fire, she’s been renting a place in Aptos for $6,500 per month.

Then 18 years old, she was home with her younger sister while her mom stayed in Woodside undergoing cancer treatment. Fraley, bored without electricity, busied herself by walking through the house collecting items, just in case they would need to leave — if the lightning storms ignited a fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only reason we took anything was because I was bored and had nothing else to do except to walk through the house and put stuff in a trash bag,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The family is familiar with fire — in 2017, Fraley’s grandfather lost his North Bay home in the deadly and massively destructive \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/tubbs-fire/\">Tubbs Fire\u003c/a>. Still, when Fraley and her sister left in the early hours of Aug. 16, after her mom sent a neighbor to look for them, they fully expected to return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time many people woke up on Aug. 16, the widespread lightning storms had ignited numerous fires in and around the Santa Cruz Mountains, blazes that would later become known as the CZU Lightning Complex fires. In a March 2021 community meeting, Cal Fire said the CZU fires were the largest in the recorded history of Santa Cruz County. They killed one person, forced the evacuation of over 77,000 people in Santa Cruz and San Mateo counties and destroyed 911 homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Comparatively, in Alameda County, which has half a million more residents than in Contra Costa, sheriff’s deputies performed 25 lockouts, the lowest of all nine counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disparity is largely due to differences in protections for tenants that county and city officials enacted during the pandemic, said Anne Tamiko Omura, the executive director of the Eviction Defense Center. The legal services organization counsels tenants in Alameda County and parts of Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It quantifies what we experience day in and day out,” she said, “which is the huge disparity between tenants who live in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/cda/hcd/documents/Item27O-2020-41.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">allows only evictions\u003c/a> for health and safety violations or if a landlord is taking their property off the rental market, Tamiko Omura said, making its moratorium one of the strongest in the state. By contrast, Contra Costa’s tenant protections are more narrowly focused on blocking evictions for nonpayment of rent. It allows other evictions, including, for instance, breaches of the lease or nuisance allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true in Santa Clara County, said Caryn Hreha, a staff attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley. Hreha said her office now mostly sees nuisance claims as the grounds cited for an eviction, in part because it’s one of the few ways landlords can evict tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have cases where it’s the sound of running and jumping from children because it happens frequently, backyards that aren’t cleaned up, parking disputes over who is parking in what spots,” Hreha said. “Those are things landlords are calling nuisances, and those are the cases that are going forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Where Bay Area Sheriffs Evicted People in the Pandemic's First Year \" aria-label=\"Bar Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-DRkC1\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/DRkC1/7/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"450\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data also points to racial disparities in evictions, said Tim Thomas, research director at UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project. He estimates that Black renters were twice as likely to be evicted than white renters, a finding that is \u003ca href=\"https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211009983\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in keeping with national studies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data does not include racial demographic information for the people who were evicted. But Thomas and graduate student Alex Ramiller used an algorithm that combines last names with neighborhood demographic information and applied it to 658 eviction records to predict the race of an individual evicted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants who were evicted were also more likely to be living in neighborhoods that have higher poverty rates, lower median rents and have slightly higher levels of rent burden — meaning renters pay more than a third of their income toward rent.[aside postID='news_11879040' label='Bay Area Eviction Dashboard']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is most startling about the data KQED collected, Thomas said, was that it pointed to the effectiveness of Alameda County’s tenant protections. The Urban Displacement Project on Monday released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.urbandisplacement.org/us-regions/housing-precarity-risk-model\">new map and modeling tool to predict where residents are most at risk of eviction\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants in parts of West and East Oakland, Hayward and elsewhere in Alameda County were at high risk of eviction because of the levels of poverty, unemployment and rent burden among residents, Thomas said. But sheriff lockouts remained low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If that doesn’t make you a believer that policy has an impact,” Thomas said, “I don’t know what will.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>As Coronavirus Cases Surged, So Did Lockouts\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Across the Bay Area, sheriff’s lockouts began picking up in the fall, jumping from 39 in September to 104 in October. They peaked in December with 171, as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/coronavirus-map/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deadly surge in coronavirus cases\u003c/a> was sweeping the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suzanne Dershowitz, a housing policy attorney at Legal Aid of Sonoma County, said the uptick in lockouts might be attributed to the expiration of the Judicial Council of California’s eviction moratorium. It was in effect between \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.courts.ca.gov/news/judicial-council-adopts-new-rules-lower-jail-population-suspend-evictions-and-foreclosures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 6\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11833268/california-eviction-moratorium-to-end-on-sept-1-court-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aug. 31\u003c/a> last year and prohibited eviction cases from moving forward, except for health and safety violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Judicial Council’s order expired, the California Legislature \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11836164/statewide-eviction-protections-approved-by-state-lawmakers-but-tenant-groups-still-fear-eviction-wave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enacted new statewide tenant protections\u003c/a>, which went into effect on Sept. 1. The law, Assembly Bill 3088, prohibited evictions for nonpayment of rent if the tenant could demonstrate they lost income due to the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it left other grounds for eviction in place, such as when an owner wants to remove a property from the rental market, or move themselves or a family member into the property. It also allows evictions for nuisance claims, breaches of the lease or health and safety allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a big turning point for us,” Dershowitz said. “As soon as (the Judicial Council’s order) was lifted and the state law went into effect, we saw evictions taking place that had previously been protected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"People Evicted by Bay Area Sheriffs Since the Start of the Pandemic\" aria-label=\"Interactive line chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-lXcNW\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/lXcNW/7/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"400\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n[datawrapper]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases that had been put on hold during the first months of the pandemic began to move forward, and new cases that were now permitted under the new state rules were added to the queue, said the Eviction Defense Center’s Anne Tamiko Omura.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the peak happened a couple months after the courts reopened,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After KQED reported its first findings in January on sheriff’s lockouts, Dershowitz said her organization, along with others, were able to successfully lobby the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors to amend the county’s existing tenant protections. The legislation, \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Press-Releases/Supervisors-strengthen-protections-regarding-evictions-and-sick-leave-during-pandemic/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adopted Feb. 9\u003c/a>, added protections for more tenants by only allowing evictions when a landlord wants to remove a property from the rental market and for health and safety violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The argument we were making was a public health argument,” Dershowtiz said, “that evictions for nonpayment of rent spreads COVID just as much as an eviction for a lease violation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new legislation appears to have had some impact. Sheriff’s lockouts in Sonoma County decreased nearly 60% between January and March of this year, dropping from 37 to 16, according to records from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Protections for Renters, Pressure on Landlords\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the more than 1,000 sheriff lockouts across the Bay Area, evictions were significantly down from previous years, tenant attorneys said.

Jim Siegel operates 10 rental units across six properties in San Francisco and Sonoma counties.

We are not publishing people’s names or record level data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED and researchers at the Urban Displacement Project converted the records into data and cleaned the results, omitting where possible any lockouts for commercial buildings, duplicate records, cancelled and stayed lockouts. In cases where sheriff’s offices included “post and mail” and “personal” service records, we only included “personal” records. This means that a sheriff’s deputies physically showed up at someone’s home to remove them, whereas “post and mail” indicates the sheriff’s deputies posted a notice for an upcoming eviction on someone’s door. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then Urban Displacement researchers used an algorithm that combines last names with neighborhood demographic information to determine the likely race and ethnicity of evictees.

Newsom aprobó este plan dos días antes de que terminara la prohibición actual en contra de los desalojos el 30 de junio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom y funcionarios estatales dijeron que estas nuevas protecciones podrían evitar una crisis para las familias que rentan su hogar a medida que California reabre de COVID-19 y la economía se recupera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esta propuesta evita un precipicio de desalojo masivo, lo que nos permite mantener a los inquilinos en sus casas y obtener a los propietarios el apoyo financiero que necesitan”, dijo el asambleísta David Chiu, un demócrata de San Francisco que organizó la moratoria inicial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, algunos grupos de inquilinos habían exigido que la extensión fuera más larga, manteniendo que tres meses no será suficiente para distribuir ayuda estatal a todos los inquilinos que la necesiten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Este plan no empareja con la realidad en que vive nuestro estado y los inquilinos quedarán desprotegidos”, expresó Francisco Dueñas, director ejecutivo de la organización \u003cem>Housing Now!\u003c/em>, a través de un comunicado. Anthony Rendon, presidente de la Asamblea y un demócrata de Lakewood, dijo a CalMatters que los legisladores no pueden garantizar que los fondos de ayuda lleguen a todos antes del 30 de septiembre, “pero haremos todo lo posible”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rendon agregó que la legislatura examinará de nuevo el programa a medida que se acerca la nueva fecha límite. “Estamos tratando de implementar nuevos procesos y protecciones y nuestra esperanza es que todo esto sea efectivo”, dijo él. “Y obviamente esperamos que la economía esté a todo dar y que para entonces ya no sea necesaria una moratoria contra desalojos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mientras los grupos de defensa que representan a inquilinos y propietarios dijeron que fueron excluidos de las negociaciones, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/04/capitol-mum-on-eviction-moratorium-extension-as-renters-seek-more-time/\">similar a las dos últimas rondas de negociaciones\u003c/a>, ambas partes lograron obtener algunas disposiciones clave que querían.

Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, which more fully opens up $5.2 billion to pay full back rent and rent going forward, was approved Monday by the Assembly and state Senate. Newsom, who faces a recall election later this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2021/06/28/governor-newsom-signs-nation-leading-rent-relief-program-for-low-income-tenants-eviction-moratorium-extension-additional-legislation/\">signed the bill Monday night\u003c/a>, just before the existing protections expire after Wednesday, June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In statements, Newsom and legislative leaders who negotiated the new protections said they would keep families from falling through the safety net as California reopens from COVID-19 and the economy recovers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This proposal avoids a massive eviction cliff, allowing us to keep tenants in their homes and get landlords the financial support they need,” said Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee Chair David Chiu, a San Francisco Democrat who put together the initial moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some tenant groups, however, wanted a longer extension of the eviction ban, saying that three months isn’t long enough to get rent relief distributed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This timeline does not match the reality the state faces and tenants will be left out to dry,” Francisco Dueñas, executive director of Housing Now!, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"rent, eviction\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, a Lakewood Democrat, told CalMatters that lawmakers couldn’t guarantee they would get rental relief to everyone by Sept. 30, “but we do want to do everything we possibly can.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the Legislature would reassess the program as the end date draws closer. “We’re trying to implement new processes and protections, and we’re hoping that those will be effective,” he said. “And we’re also obviously hoping that the economy is in full swing and hopefully an eviction moratorium will not be necessary moving forward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While advocacy groups representing tenants and landlords said they were shut out of the negotiations — \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-divide/2021/04/capitol-mum-on-eviction-moratorium-extension-as-renters-seek-more-time/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">similar to the last two rounds of negotiations\u003c/a> — both sides managed to get some key provisions they wanted.

If the tenant is ineligible, however, the proceeding will continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lupe Arreola, executive director of Tenants Together, said while the additional legal protections sound good in theory, they may not work in real life. “We’re saying that’s wishful thinking. We’re saying that’s not going to happen.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what about the money? The bill says tenants, as well as their landlords, will be able to \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/program_overview.html#renter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apply for 100% of back rent and up to three months of forward rent\u003c/a>. Previously, without landlord approval, a tenant was eligible for only 25% of missed rental payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a key ask from tenant advocates, and a source of worry for landlords, who said the provision would be abused. Tenants who receive rental assistance will acknowledge under penalty of perjury they will use the money to pay missed rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the landlord still tries to evict the tenant over non-payment of rent, the court will be able to check whether the tenant received state dollars. If they paid the full amount to the landlord, the eviction will be blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also shields evictions over non-payment of rent from appearing on a tenant’s record, which hampers the ability to rent in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who is eligible for relief?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The tenant’s household income must be at or below 80% of the area median income during 2020 or 2021. Those income brackets \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/income-limits/state-and-federal-income-limits/docs/income-limits-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vary by region\u003c/a>. Tenants with an income below 50% will be prioritized. Assistance is available to tenants regardless of their immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local jurisdictions distributing rental relief might have different rules, however; during the last round of funds in Los Angeles, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://hcidla.lacity.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a two-person household couldn’t make more than $45,050\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill expands eligibility to tenants who may have moved out of their home during the pandemic, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/04/california-rent-relief-tenants/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who were not covered previously\u003c/a>. They can now apply for back rent owed to a previous landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does this deal mean for landlords?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Landlords will be unable to evict tenants over non-payment of rent through Sept. 30. To file an eviction lawsuit after that, the landlord must provide evidence to the court they applied for rental assistance. The case can only proceed if the tenant does not complete their application or qualify for aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landlord groups, which hoped the protections would not be further extended, are frustrated by this provision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While there is some recognition of this distress in the deal by providing 100% in rent assistance and requirements for the tenants to use the funds to pay rent, we are very concerned as to when this moratorium will actually end,” Christine LaMarca, president of the California Rental Housing Association, which represents more than 20,000 landlords, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landlords will still be able to evict tenants for a substantial remodel only if that is necessary to comply with health and safety standards, and if the owner of the property is selling it to a buyer who intends to occupy the property.

The bill says tenants, as well as their landlords, will be able to \u003ca href=\"https://housing.ca.gov/covid_rr/program_overview.html#renter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">apply for 100% of back rent and up to three months of forward rent\u003c/a>. Previously, without landlord approval, a tenant was eligible for only 25% of missed rental payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was a key ask from tenant advocates, and a source of worry for landlords, who said the provision would be abused. Tenants who receive rental assistance will acknowledge under penalty of perjury they will use the money to pay missed rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the landlord still tries to evict the tenant over non-payment of rent, the court will be able to check whether the tenant received state dollars. If they paid the full amount to the landlord, the eviction will be blocked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill also shields evictions over non-payment of rent from appearing on a tenant’s record, which hampers the ability to rent in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Who is eligible for relief?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The tenant’s household income must be at or below 80% of the area median income during 2020 or 2021. Those income brackets \u003ca href=\"https://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/income-limits/state-and-federal-income-limits/docs/income-limits-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vary by region\u003c/a>. Tenants with an income below 50% will be prioritized. Assistance is available to tenants regardless of their immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local jurisdictions distributing rental relief might have different rules, however; during the last round of funds in Los Angeles, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://hcidla.lacity.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a two-person household couldn’t make more than $45,050\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill expands eligibility to tenants who may have moved out of their home during the pandemic, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/housing/2021/04/california-rent-relief-tenants/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">who were not covered previously\u003c/a>. They can now apply for back rent owed to a previous landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What does this deal mean for landlords?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Landlords will be unable to evict tenants over non-payment of rent through Sept. 30. To file an eviction lawsuit after that, the landlord must provide evidence to the court they applied for rental assistance. The case can only proceed if the tenant does not complete their application or qualify for aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landlord groups, which hoped the protections would not be further extended, are frustrated by this provision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While there is some recognition of this distress in the deal by providing 100% in rent assistance and requirements for the tenants to use the funds to pay rent, we are very concerned as to when this moratorium will actually end,” Christine LaMarca, president of the California Rental Housing Association, which represents more than 20,000 landlords, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Landlords will still be able to evict tenants for a substantial remodel only if that is necessary to comply with health and safety standards, and if the owner of the property is selling it to a buyer who intends to occupy the property. They cannot, for example, sell to someone who intends to rent out the place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those restrictions might be \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-22/la-county-extends-covid19-eviction-moratorium-through-september\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tighter in certain localities\u003c/a>, like Los Angeles, which passed a local moratorium earlier this week.
