The Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment were among those that rallied at the Capitol this week to fight for stronger protections. In a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\">series of tweets\u003c/a>, the group criticized the compromise bill as \"complicated and burdensome for tenants.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Gavin Newsom is literally about to make a deal that could throw millions of Californians out of their homes in the coming months amidst a pandemic – most of them poor, Black and Latinx. If that's not cold-blooded racism, we're not sure what is,\" the organization wrote on Twitter Thursday, as the compromise bill was in its last day of negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CalOrganize/status/1299072822539509761?s=19\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill comes right under the wire, since Monday marks the end of the legislative session. The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='eviction-moratorium']“We’ve been working around the clock with lawmakers and the governor’s office to make sure the legislation is fair and balanced,” said Debra Carlton, executive vice president of state public affairs at the California Apartment Association, in a statement. \"Our goal has been to provide both help for tenants who are truly affected by COVID-19, as well as compensation for landlords, especially mom and pop owners, at risk of foreclosure after several months without rent payments.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to describe negotiations with the California Apartment Association and lawmakers who had their ear, Chiu noted \"the landlord industry is an incredibly powerful force in Sacramento,\" making tenant bills notoriously hard to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'll be the first to say this proposal has shortcomings. We wanted more. We fought for more,\" Chiu said. While the bill won't halt all evictions, \"it will prevent many evictions and delay even more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, \"turning away from an imperfect proposal and allowing all evictions to resume immediately without any protections is just not an option. The consequences are too dire.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\n\u003cp>The bill comes right under the wire, since Monday marks the end of the legislative session. The state Senate is poised to vote on the COVID-19 relief act on Monday, but the bill will face a high hurdle – a two-thirds majority – to pass. Then it will make its way back to the Assembly for a final vote and the governor’s signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom said at his noon press conference he was \"pleased\" and \"grateful\" that \"people that don't always see eye to eye, don't always agree,\" came together across their differences to create a compromise bill to help tenants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They \"worked very hard over a long period of weeks, not just days,\" he said, \"to accommodate not only for tenants, millions of people at risk of eviction, to accommodate for timing when those evictions will occur, to accommodate for small landlords that rightfully are concerned about not being able to pay their mortgages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both previous tenant protection bills, AB 1436 and Senate Bill 1410, authored by state Sen. Anna M. Caballero, D-Salinas, are now off the table. Caballero, Chiu, Newsom and advocates for tenants and landlords hammered out the compromise bill over the last few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How It Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Notably, the legislation doesn't stop \u003cem>all\u003c/em> evictions. And the provisions to protect renters come with timelines attached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the main tenant protection provisions in the bill:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Full protections:\u003c/strong> Any rent missed between March 1 and Aug. 31 will be converted to civil debt. This means landlords can take tenants to small claims court for any missed rent — but they can't evict you for not paying it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Protections with a caveat:\u003c/strong> Rents missed between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31 are a different story, however. Tenants \u003cem>must pay\u003c/em> 25% of rent within that period or else they'll be open to eviction. The remaining 75% of their rent is treated as a civil debt, just like the provision for missed rent from between March 1 and August 31.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>More time:\u003c/strong> Also under the new law, the usual three-day notice to evict that landlords post – mandatory before they go through the court process to evict a tenant – is now a 15-day-notice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How to file:\u003c/strong> That notice is also how a tenant begins protecting themselves from eviction: Once a landlord has posted a 15-day notice, a tenant can file with their landlord that they have a pandemic-related hardship.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Caveats and Concessions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former version of this compromise bill – Assembly Bill 1436 – also authored by Chiu, would've allowed anyone to file an attestation that they were experiencing a pandemic-caused financial hardship to qualify for eviction protection. Now, that requirement is tighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Perjury:\u003c/strong> Under the new version of the bill, tenants must swear under penalty of perjury that they are enduring a pandemic-related hardship. Tenant advocates are worried that may scare off undocumented immigrants and other vulnerable populations from filing for those protections in the first place.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Means-testing:\u003c/strong> If a tenant earns 130% of a county's area median income or higher, a landlord can ask for them to produce \u003cem>proof \u003c/em>of a pandemic-related financial hardship, like a layoff or wage-reduction notice from an employer.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>No more eviction moratoriums:\u003c/strong> Eviction moratoriums previously passed by cities and counties will be grandfathered in, but they won't be able to pass any extensions specifically for evictions regarding non-payment of rent. While some of them are stronger than the state's provisions, some are set to expire after 30 days.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Courts:\u003c/strong> Courts will face a tighter time frame, too. They'll have until just Oct. 5 to begin processing evictions for non-payment of rent in non-COVID cases, though sources familiar with the negotiations suggest courts may find themselves scrambling to ramp up staff in time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Property owners:\u003c/strong> Mortgage forbearance is now out of the picture. Under pressure from groups representing small property owners, Chiu had amended AB 1436 to allow property owners – even non-landlords – to make late mortgage payments. Under pressure from the banking industry, that's now gone.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Despite concerns from tenant organizations, the California Apartment Association, representing landlords, were supportive of the compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But despite their financial hardships, many are being asked to pay their debts or have their wages garnished in the middle of a global pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Gonzales works as a mechanical engineer in San Jose. Before the pandemic hit, he was using the extra money he made to pay for continuing education classes. But since May, he’s been furloughed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just went back to work a couple weeks ago,” Gonzales said. “And that’s on a day-by-day basis at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzales is afraid he’ll get laid off. He wasn’t able to pay his rent while he was furloughed, but San Jose and many other cities in the Bay Area have \u003ca href=\"https://www.sanjoseca.gov/your-government/departments-offices/housing/eviction-moratorium\">eviction moratoriums\u003c/a> in place, which prohibit landlords from evicting their tenants if they can’t pay rent due to financial hardships brought on by the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Jose’s moratorium ends on Aug. 31, and Gonzales’ landlord has already threatened to evict him if he doesn’t pay his back-rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s become difficult to pay it. And I have every intention [of paying the rent] because I’ve never had any problems like this,” Gonzales said. “But it’s making me worried and stressed out about … am I going to be able to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, the Federal Reserve released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/20200611/html/introductory_text.htm\">report\u003c/a> showing that household debt increased by almost 4% across the United States in the first quarter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kiran Sidhu, policy counsel for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.responsiblelending.org/\">Center for Responsible Lending\u003c/a>, has been seeing debt collection cases from people who are already struggling financially, and particularly from borrowers of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Debt collection cases disproportionately impact borrowers of color and we can expect these debt collection cases are going to increase because of the situation that existed before the pandemic even began,” Sidhu said. “We can imagine that debt collection cases are going to be on the rise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jessica Nowlan, Young Women's Freedom Center executive director\"]‘I have a history of poverty that I haven’t been able to climb out of.

He also provided relief for private student loan borrowers. But Sidhu doesn’t believe this relief is enough to save families struggling from debt, especially as the pandemic continues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“States should really be careful about how they begin to reopen and continue business as usual,” Sidhu said. “Families still have not recovered from the 2008 financial recession and this on top of that is going to exacerbate issues for folks who are already reeling.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica Nowlan’s debt fits into that category. She lives in Oakland with her three kids and, after experiencing homelessness for several years, worked her way up to become executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youngwomenfree.org/\">Young Women’s Freedom Center\u003c/a>, a local nonprofit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that I finally felt like a grown-up.

Since starting her role as executive director of her organization, she has instead owed money to the IRS when she filed taxes. But Nowlan didn’t realize that and now owes the IRS over $20,000 in back taxes. Two weeks ago, the IRS garnished $6,000 from her bank account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have a history of poverty that I haven’t been able to climb out of. And so a hit from the IRS was pretty devastating to my family,” Nowlan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s now on a six-year payment plan with the IRS to pay those back taxes, but there won’t be a lot of money left in her account for extra purchases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Coronavirus Resources\" tag=\"resource\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharon Djemal, director of the Consumer Justice Clinic at the \u003ca href=\"https://ebclc.org/\">East Bay Community Law Center\u003c/a>, is getting calls from clients concerned about the debt they’re accumulating now, on top of the debt they already had pre-pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are getting lots of calls and are very stressed about getting calls or letters regarding some of the debt they’ve accumulated over the past few months,” Djemal said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says it can take a year for a case to get into the court system and she expects to see a deluge of cases next year because of debt accumulated during the pandemic. The cases she handles today are related to pre-pandemic debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the legislative front, state Sen.

However, renters who receive eviction notices do not necessarily end up on a sheriff department’s lockout docket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter addressed to Judge Anderholdt, Bracciale details that court officers told her in early July that no information about the Judicial Council’s eviction moratorium had been relayed to Imperial County Superior Court clerks who manage eviction proceedings, and that court employees had not received instructions to stop issuing court summonses in eviction cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter details that court officers, once notified of the emergency ban on eviction proceedings by Bracciale, told her they would work on a plan to adopt the rules going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bracciale also filed the letter with the state Judicial Council, but has not yet received an answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to questions from CalMatters, Judicial Council spokesperson Cathal Conneely wrote via email, “As the recipient of this letter, the Imperial County Superior Court, an independent constitutional entity, is best positioned to respond to any allegations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imperial County, where one in four residents live below the poverty line, has been ravaged by the novel coronavirus. In late June, Newsom urged local elected officials to reinstate stay-at-home orders because of the severity of the outbreak. Only two intensive care unit beds are available in the county as of Tuesday, according to a Los Angeles Times tracker, and patients are being airlifted to hospitals in nearby San Diego and elsewhere in Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newsom administration did not respond to requests for comment on this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent public remarks, state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye said the Judicial Council will vote on allowing courts to resume eviction proceedings as early as August 14. State lawmakers are scrambling to pass eviction protection and landlord relief measures before that date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With Republicans and Democrats in Congress at odds over how much to keep paying people who are out of work, renters, lawmakers and advocates across the country are raising the alarm about a possible wave of evictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters in California are protected, for now, by state and local eviction moratoriums. But some of those provisions are set to expire in August. Most notably, the California Judicial Council announced that its statewide eviction moratorium could sunset as soon as Aug. 14. The provision has been in place since April, and prevents court actions on evictions and judicial foreclosures, effectively halting most evictions in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Aug. 14 deadline looming, state leaders are now scrambling to come up with long-term fix that would protect renters and property owners who have lost income during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom said last Friday that he is working with state legislative leaders to craft a plan. He specifically named Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, and state Sen. Anna Caballero, D-Salinas, both of whom authored renter and landlord protection bills that are scheduled for committee hearings on Aug. 12. A deal from the governor and the Legislature is likely to include elements of both of their bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bill 1436, co-authored by Chiu, would bar landlords from evicting tenants for up to 90 days after the state of emergency is lifted, and would prohibit landlords from using nonpayment of rent during the pandemic as grounds for an eviction in the future. It would also give tenants 15 months to pay back rent from that time period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu announced this week that the bill has been updated to include protections for property owners as well. The bill would allow owners of properties with four units or less to receive a year of mortgage forbearance — reduced or delayed payments. The timeline would be capped at six months for larger properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Mortgage owners are experiencing particular hardships during this pandemic, and particularly property owners who rely on rent from their tenants to get by and make their mortgages,” Chiu said. “We can’t afford to have a wave of evictions and foreclosures like we did during the great recession.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 4 million renters in California have slight or no confidence that they will be able to pay their rent next month, according to a survey from the Census Bureau. More than 1.7 million California homeowners are similarly concerned about making their mortgage payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 1410, authored by Caballero, would give landlords tax credits to make up for missed rent payments. Tenants would then have 10 years to pay back their back rent to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chiu acknowledged the Legislature is working on a tight timeline. To buy more time, he suggested the Judicial Council could consider extending its moratorium until the end of August, which coincides with the end of the legislative session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am concerned that if we’re not able to get an agreement with the governor and the Legislature by Aug. 14, you could very well see a rush to the courts of landlords filing eviction notices for tenants who have been unable to pay rent in recent months,” Chiu said. \"That could be catastrophic. We have to avoid a wave of mass evictions. That would be terrible for homelessness, for this pandemic and COVID-19 spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, many local cities and counties have voted to continue their local eviction moratoriums, as job losses from the pandemic continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Alameda County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 12 months after end of moratorium\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"http://acgov.org/documents/ACEvictionMoratorium-Update-FAQ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Contra Costa County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: until Nov. 15, 2020\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/67175/Board-of-Supervisors-Extends-a-Modified-Eviction-Protection--Rent-Freeze-Ordinance-News-Release-5262020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marin County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 90 days after the end of moratorium\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.marincounty.org/main/county-press-releases/press-releases/2020/cda-covid-evictionmoratorium-052220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: until Jan. 31, 2021\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://sfrb.org/temporary-eviction-moratorium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Mateo County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 90 days after the end of state of emergency, with three, one-month extensions\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://housing.smcgov.org/covid-19-smc-eviction-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Santa Clara County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to six months after moratorium ends to repay at least 50% of the past-due rent, and up to 12 months after moratorium ends to repay past-due in full\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/EvictionMoratorium/Pages/home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Solano County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: 90 days after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 12 months after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/app/uploads/2020/04/Solano-County-BOS-Countywide-Eviction-Moratorium.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sonoma County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: 60 days after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to two months after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Press-Releases/Board-of-Supervisors-Approves-Eviction-Defense-Ordinance/#:~:text=The%20ordinance%20prevents%20evictions%20for,to%20make%20up%20unpaid%20rent.&text=The%20Ordinance%20is%20available%20here,B3CB%2DFDAA3D9F69E6%26Options%3D%26Search%3D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What else is available to tenants?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reminder:\u003c/strong> There is currently no rent freeze or moratorium on rent in California.

This is a much stronger ruling that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809328/newsoms-eviction-moratorium-useless-misleading-tenants-groups-say\">statewide eviction moratorium\u003c/a> set by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's what the new rule does:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents a court from issuing a summons\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>after a landlord files an eviction case: \u003c/strong>Except when necessary to protect health and safety, this means that tenants will not be under the normal five-day response deadline and will instead have time to respond up until the courts' emergency rule is lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Prevents default judgments: \u003c/strong>Normally, if the tenant failed to file a response, the court would issue a default judgment. Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"evictions\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if I get an eviction notice?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If for some reason you do receive an eviction notice, \u003cstrong>get in touch with a lawyer or legal aid office as soon as possible\u003c/strong>.

More than 1.7 million California homeowners are similarly concerned about making their mortgage payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Bill 1410, authored by Caballero, would give landlords tax credits to make up for missed rent payments. Tenants would then have 10 years to pay back their back rent to the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Chiu acknowledged the Legislature is working on a tight timeline. To buy more time, he suggested the Judicial Council could consider extending its moratorium until the end of August, which coincides with the end of the legislative session.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am concerned that if we’re not able to get an agreement with the governor and the Legislature by Aug. 14, you could very well see a rush to the courts of landlords filing eviction notices for tenants who have been unable to pay rent in recent months,” Chiu said. \"That could be catastrophic. We have to avoid a wave of mass evictions. That would be terrible for homelessness, for this pandemic and COVID-19 spread.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, many local cities and counties have voted to continue their local eviction moratoriums, as job losses from the pandemic continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Alameda County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 12 months after end of moratorium\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"http://acgov.org/documents/ACEvictionMoratorium-Update-FAQ.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Contra Costa County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: until Nov. 15, 2020\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/67175/Board-of-Supervisors-Extends-a-Modified-Eviction-Protection--Rent-Freeze-Ordinance-News-Release-5262020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marin County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Sept. 30\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 90 days after the end of moratorium\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.marincounty.org/main/county-press-releases/press-releases/2020/cda-covid-evictionmoratorium-052220\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Francisco County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: until Jan. 31, 2021\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://sfrb.org/temporary-eviction-moratorium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>San Mateo County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 90 days after the end of state of emergency, with three, one-month extensions\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://housing.smcgov.org/covid-19-smc-eviction-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Santa Clara County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: Aug. 31\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to six months after moratorium ends to repay at least 50% of the past-due rent, and up to 12 months after moratorium ends to repay past-due in full\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/EvictionMoratorium/Pages/home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Solano County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: 90 days after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to 12 months after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://caanet.org/app/uploads/2020/04/Solano-County-BOS-Countywide-Eviction-Moratorium.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sonoma County\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Expires: 60 days after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nRepayment term: up to two months after state of emergency ends\u003cbr>\nFor more info, \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Press-Releases/Board-of-Supervisors-Approves-Eviction-Defense-Ordinance/#:~:text=The%20ordinance%20prevents%20evictions%20for,to%20make%20up%20unpaid%20rent.&text=The%20Ordinance%20is%20available%20here,B3CB%2DFDAA3D9F69E6%26Options%3D%26Search%3D.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">click here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What else is available to tenants?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reminder:\u003c/strong> There is currently no rent freeze or moratorium on rent in California.

Often siding with the landlord. This prevents that, except in cases of health and safety. Or if the tenant failed to file a response before the statewide order was lifted.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Extends time for trials\u003c/strong>: If an eviction case is already in process, and the tenant has already responded or appeared, judges must set the hearing for a time that is 60 days after the date requested, unless necessary to set it earlier for health and safety.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>You can read more about the rule, including how it applies to foreclosures, \u003ca href=\"https://wclp.org/summary-california-courts-emergency-rule-on-evictions-and-foreclosures/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>More than 40,000 tenants in Santa Clara County could be at risk of eviction after August, when local emergency rental protections expire, a new report warns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Released Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.lawfoundation.org/news/eviction-time-bomb\">the report\u003c/a> identifies over 43,000 renter households in the county at highest risk of eviction. They primarily consist of undocumented workers and other low-income residents who have lost substantial income during the COVID-19 pandemic, and have not been eligible for unemployment assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking at an eviction time bomb,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (LFSV), the nonprofit group that co-authored the report, in collaboration with Working Partnerships USA. That potential wave of evictions — roughly 16 times the average number filed in the county in an entire year — would have devastating, widespread impacts, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Michael Trujillo, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley\"]‘We’re just really concerned about the disparate impact this would have on Black and Latinx households and folks who may be undocumented as well.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a huge risk of a surge in homelessness, which could be over a 200% increase,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those at greatest risk of eviction in the county, where \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/santa-clara-county/santa-clara/\">average rent\u003c/a> is nearly $3,000, are disproportionately people of color, households headed by women and families of young children, according to the group’s analysis of unemployment insurance claims and census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 212,000 Santa Clara County workers — or one in every five workers in the county — filed unemployment claims between March 15 and May 30, the report found. The majority of those claims covered fields that include a large number of low-wage jobs, where Black and Latinx workers are disproportionately represented. Not included in that number, the report notes, are the estimated 95,000 undocumented workers in the county who are ineligible for unemployment benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just really concerned about the disparate impact this would have on Black and Latinx households and folks who may be undocumented as well,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s dire warning comes just over a month before the county’s eviction moratorium is set to expire. Enacted soon after shelter-in-place restrictions went into effect in late March, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/EvictionMoratorium/Pages/home.aspx\">the countywide order\u003c/a> bars landlords from evicting tenants for non-payment of rent due to significant pandemic-related income loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants have up to six months after the moratorium expires on Aug. 31 — which officials already extended from May 31 — to repay at least 50% of past-due rent, and up to a year to repay the full amount. That repayment, however, is on top of whatever rent those tenants will continue to owe on a monthly basis, a particularly daunting challenge amid ongoing economic fallout as the coronavirus cases continue to surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency protections are similar to those \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809833/stressed-about-paying-your-april-rent-check-here-first\">enacted in most other Bay Area counties\u003c/a> — and much of the rest of the state — where low-income people of color have been hit hardest by the pandemic, both physically and financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really going to devastate Black and Latinx renters who, of course, are most likely to be working in industries that have been affected by COVID and also most likely to be highly rent burdened in the first place,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, 46% of Latinx renters and more than half of Black renters said they had no or only slight confidence they would be able to pay July rent, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data/tables/2020/demo/hhp/hhp9.html\">U.S. Census Bureau survey\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trujillo notes that while Santa Clara County is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, the risk to renters here is hardly unique. Low-income residents in most nearby counties are facing a similar threat, he said, noting another \u003ca href=\"https://www.policylink.org/resources-tools/COVID-19%20Evictions-fact-sheet\">recent analysis\u003c/a> that identified some 12,000 Contra Costa County households — including 10,400 children — at risk of imminent eviction if that county’s moratorium ends. His group’s report, he added, is based on methodology from a \u003ca href=\"https://challengeinequality.luskin.ucla.edu/2020/05/28/ud-day-report/\">UCLA study\u003c/a> of Los Angeles County, which found more than 130,000 households to be at risk of eviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more eviction coverage\" tag=\"eviction\"]LFSV’s report urges Santa Clara County officials to again extend the eviction moratorium through the state of emergency and permanently prohibit landlords from evicting tenants who are unable to repay rent due to loss of income from COVID-19. Landlords, it suggests, should instead file civil lawsuits seeking back rent, which could lead to wage garnishment, downgraded credit scores or liens, but at least keep tenants from being pushed out of their homes. Additionally, the report encourages state and federal lawmakers to provide financial relief to the most at-risk tenants to cover insurmountable rental debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also recommends that local officials ensure that all tenants have access to legal assistance to better understand their rights, fight unfair evictions and negotiate agreements with landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unlike our neighbors up north in San Francisco, there’s no guaranteed access (here) to legal assistance if you’re facing eviction in Santa Clara County” Trujillo said. “And so, in fact, vanishingly few tenants are represented. The reality is that we’re one of the few organizations that provides legal defense in the county and we simply just don’t have enough capacity to represent everyone who needs defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measures implemented by county officials have so far been effective in preventing widespread evictions during the pandemic, Trujillo said. But he stressed that much more needs to be done to avert a major displacement crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those families that are most at risk right now are families that are living in neighborhoods that been disadvantaged for a long time, in terms of investment, in terms of housing development, in terms of displacement protection,” he said. “And so this crisis is really compounding what was already a severe housing crisis. And as we move forward and start to address these problems, I hope that the solutions also go to addressing the drivers of that underlying housing crisis.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

They primarily consist of undocumented workers and other low-income residents who have lost substantial income during the COVID-19 pandemic, and have not been eligible for unemployment assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re looking at an eviction time bomb,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley (LFSV), the nonprofit group that co-authored the report, in collaboration with Working Partnerships USA. That potential wave of evictions — roughly 16 times the average number filed in the county in an entire year — would have devastating, widespread impacts, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The majority of those claims covered fields that include a large number of low-wage jobs, where Black and Latinx workers are disproportionately represented. Not included in that number, the report notes, are the estimated 95,000 undocumented workers in the county who are ineligible for unemployment benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just really concerned about the disparate impact this would have on Black and Latinx households and folks who may be undocumented as well,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s dire warning comes just over a month before the county’s eviction moratorium is set to expire. Enacted soon after shelter-in-place restrictions went into effect in late March, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sccgov.org/sites/osh/EvictionMoratorium/Pages/home.aspx\">the countywide order\u003c/a> bars landlords from evicting tenants for non-payment of rent due to significant pandemic-related income loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tenants have up to six months after the moratorium expires on Aug. 31 — which officials already extended from May 31 — to repay at least 50% of past-due rent, and up to a year to repay the full amount. That repayment, however, is on top of whatever rent those tenants will continue to owe on a monthly basis, a particularly daunting challenge amid ongoing economic fallout as the coronavirus cases continue to surge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The emergency protections are similar to those \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809833/stressed-about-paying-your-april-rent-check-here-first\">enacted in most other Bay Area counties\u003c/a> — and much of the rest of the state — where low-income people of color have been hit hardest by the pandemic, both physically and financially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really going to devastate Black and Latinx renters who, of course, are most likely to be working in industries that have been affected by COVID and also most likely to be highly rent burdened in the first place,” Trujillo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Landlords, it suggests, should instead file civil lawsuits seeking back rent, which could lead to wage garnishment, downgraded credit scores or liens, but at least keep tenants from being pushed out of their homes. Additionally, the report encourages state and federal lawmakers to provide financial relief to the most at-risk tenants to cover insurmountable rental debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also recommends that local officials ensure that all tenants have access to legal assistance to better understand their rights, fight unfair evictions and negotiate agreements with landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unlike our neighbors up north in San Francisco, there’s no guaranteed access (here) to legal assistance if you’re facing eviction in Santa Clara County” Trujillo said. “And so, in fact, vanishingly few tenants are represented. The reality is that we’re one of the few organizations that provides legal defense in the county and we simply just don’t have enough capacity to represent everyone who needs defense.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measures implemented by county officials have so far been effective in preventing widespread evictions during the pandemic, Trujillo said.

That’s one in four American workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/table?measures=JLR\">A recent survey from the U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> found more than half of California households have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic. And nationally, more than a fifth of respondents said they had little to no confidence that they would be able to pay their rent or mortgage payments in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be really difficult for a lot of folks to resume normal rent payments when some of the eviction moratoriums start to expire,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, most Bay Area residents will be protected through July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11811012/california-court-leaders-suspend-evictions-amid-pandemic\">the state Judicial Council’s order on April 6 to suspend eviction and foreclosure filings\u003c/a> — a de facto moratorium — is still in effect across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasha Harnden, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said, \"The Judicial Council order is temporary procedural relief meant to prevent what would otherwise happen, which is driving thousands of people to the courthouses at a time when it's really not advisable. It does not provide substantive protections in terms of new defenses a tenant can raise to stay in their homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In non-pandemic times, if a landlord wanted to evict a tenant, they would file a three-day notice to pay the rent or be forced to vacate the premises. If the tenant doesn’t respond within the three days, the landlord would file an eviction lawsuit in court. The court would then send the tenant a notice to respond to the lawsuit within five days, or the judge automatically rules in favor of the landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Judicial Council’s order, the courts won’t send that five-day notice until the order is rescinded or expires. It’s currently set to expire 90 days after the governor lifts the state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's where local protections may come in, depending on where you are,\" Harnden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and counties around the Bay have passed local moratoria that add protections on top of what's provided by the Judicial Council's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, they provide additional protections for tenants by allowing tenants to use the local moratorium as a defense against a future eviction case, once those cases can be filed. And, many of the moratoria provide a time period for tenants to repay back rent —from two months after the expiration of the moratorium in the case of Sonoma County to up to 12 months in the case of Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For local rules, it all depends on where you live.

That’s one in four American workers. \u003ca href=\"https://www.census.gov/data-tools/demo/hhp/#/table?measures=JLR\">A recent survey from the U.S. Census Bureau\u003c/a> found more than half of California households have lost income due to the coronavirus pandemic. And nationally, more than a fifth of respondents said they had little to no confidence that they would be able to pay their rent or mortgage payments in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's going to be really difficult for a lot of folks to resume normal rent payments when some of the eviction moratoriums start to expire,” said Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, most Bay Area residents will be protected through July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11811012/california-court-leaders-suspend-evictions-amid-pandemic\">the state Judicial Council’s order on April 6 to suspend eviction and foreclosure filings\u003c/a> — a de facto moratorium — is still in effect across California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasha Harnden, a policy advocate with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, said, \"The Judicial Council order is temporary procedural relief meant to prevent what would otherwise happen, which is driving thousands of people to the courthouses at a time when it's really not advisable. It does not provide substantive protections in terms of new defenses a tenant can raise to stay in their homes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In non-pandemic times, if a landlord wanted to evict a tenant, they would file a three-day notice to pay the rent or be forced to vacate the premises. If the tenant doesn’t respond within the three days, the landlord would file an eviction lawsuit in court. The court would then send the tenant a notice to respond to the lawsuit within five days, or the judge automatically rules in favor of the landlord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Judicial Council’s order, the courts won’t send that five-day notice until the order is rescinded or expires. It’s currently set to expire 90 days after the governor lifts the state of emergency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's where local protections may come in, depending on where you are,\" Harnden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and counties around the Bay have passed local moratoria that add protections on top of what's provided by the Judicial Council's order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In most cases, they provide additional protections for tenants by allowing tenants to use the local moratorium as a defense against a future eviction case, once those cases can be filed. And, many of the moratoria provide a time period for tenants to repay back rent —from two months after the expiration of the moratorium in the case of Sonoma County to up to 12 months in the case of Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For local rules, it all depends on where you live. Below is a list of the moratoria for the eight Bay Area counties that have them (Napa County does not have its own).

The Nava’s declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the family explored their options, Christina Nava allegedly told the family the locks on their home needed to be changed. By May, the Nava’s tried to enforce their 60-day notice, now expired, by force — they tried to lock the Castillo-Gutierréz’s front gate, barring them from their home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the family got into the home anyhow and changed the lock again, the Nava’s tried a new tactic to regain access to the house: They removed the Castillo-Gutierréz’s fence, which the family recorded on video. When the Castillo-Gutierréz ’s put up boards to replace that fence, the Nava’s came back, this time flanked by two men on motorcycles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jackie Zaneri, an attorney with ACCE, the group representing the Castillo-Gutierréz family\"]‘Harassment and lockouts seem to have dramatically increased during the pandemic.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were staring at us,” Anastacio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unknown men sat atop their motorcycles, engines thrumming, as other men tore down the boards around the family’s rented home. They chained the remaining pieces of the fence together, so the landlords could have unrestricted access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After intervention from the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE), a tenants group, the Oakland City Attorney’s Office stepped in to help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a June 24 letter to Christina and Ramiro Nava, Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker and the office’s Neighborhood Law Corps Attorney Axell Hernandez wrote that the allegations against the Nava’s, “if true, constitute grave violations of local and state law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 60-day eviction notice the Nava’s filed was “invalid,” the incident with the motorcycles was “an effort to intimidate the tenants into leaving” and statements that the Nava’s intend to sell the property support the idea that the Nava’s were attempting to “harass and intimidate your tenants into giving up their right to possession,” the City Attorney’s Office wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While such high-stakes intervention may help the Castillo-Gutierréz’s win out in the end, they said their landlords’ efforts to oust them have mounted their stress, stunted their sleep and stoked their fears.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Desperate Times\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Joshua Howard, executive vice president in local government affairs for the California Apartment Association, which represents landlords, noted COVID-19 has impacted tenants and landlords alike.
