As part of the CARES Act, a federal moratorium on evictions is in effect. This moratorium applies in non-payment of rent related evictions from federally assisted housing as well as a moratorium on fees and penalties for the non-payment of rent. This federal eviction moratorium is in effect for a 120-day period beginning on March 27, 2020 lasting through July 25, 2020. This is in addition to the temporary suspension of evictions authorized by this Court system effective March 25, 2020.
In order for this Court to adjudicate eviction cases, certain questions must be asked to enable the Court to determine whether the premises at issue in a particular eviction are a 'Covered Property' which is subject to a 'federally-backed mortgage.' Thus, until further notice, in all evictions filed with this Court, an affidavit must be appended to your eviction complaint.
