[California] Renters in U.S. cannot be evicted through the end of the year due to coronavirus, CDC order states

[asker]

Read this if you are facing eviction or being harassed for rent.

@asker I feel like this isn't getting much coverage. Is it because it's legally dubious? Is it because California enacted its own legislation? Even if you don't qualify for California's protection, you can, in some circumstances, qualify for the CDC order.

Everyone said Trump's $300/$400 unemployment was a joke and would be shot down in court. But, most states have caught on and are distributing that money.

@bjoyful256 It’s still a joke but people are struggling. Something is better than nothing when you need to eat.

@dtray Agreed - it is better than nothing. Is the extension that congress put together dead in the water now? Have they given up on negotiating? This is something that I don't see much media coverage on either. I'm hoping this is just a bandaid until some sort of meeting of the minds can be had.

 

[dtray]

@et1phone2home Well they’re just getting back to work this month so I’m sure negotiations will be coming back. Hopefully the Senate stops stalling.

 

[bjoyful256]

@dtray I agree and I am in line to receive it.

@asker What if you just rent a room? Would this apply? I find this hard to believe. I can't find any link. Do you have anything to support this?

@generalmanny I’m not in California but I imagine if the landlord also lives in the house, it will be very uncomfortable to deal with them

 

[deborah]

@ivee89 I rent a room and my landlords been cool with it

 

[dtray]

@generalmanny If you rent a room you still have a lease agreement and the owner is your landlord. CA is very tenant friendly. I suggest going to findlaw.com and looking at CA landlord tenant laws. It’s always important to know your rights.

@dtray I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:

I did the honors for you.

@asker Joke’s on my family, my dad was already evicted.

 

[alionka0013]

@newlywedmandy Sorry to hear that

 

[agathailand]

@newlywedmandy How? Eviction courts in CA aren't even open right now..

 

[newlywedmandy]

@agathailand A 5 day notice was given. They had been trying to kick out all the tenants since January and then this happened.

@asker “When the moratorium expires at the end of the year, renters who received protection will still need to make up missed payments to their landlords.”

@truthseeker2033 So you get to choose between even more debt or being homeless
