COVID-19 TENANT PROTECTIONS
Temporary Moratorium on Evicting Tenants

On March 27, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order banning the enforcement of eviction orders for renters affected by COVID-19 through May 31, 2020. The order prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for nonpayment of rent and prohibits enforcement of evictions by law enforcement or courts. It also requires tenants to declare in writing, no more than seven days after the rent comes due, that the tenant cannot pay all or part of their rent due to COVID-19.

The tenant would be required to retain documentation but not required to submit it to the landlord in advance. And the tenant would remain obligated to repay full rent in a timely manner and could still face eviction after the enforcement moratorium is lifted. The order takes effect immediately, and provides immediate relief to tenants for whom rent is due on April 1st.

The City of Sacramento Ordinance Amending Section 5.156.090 of the Sacramento City Code, Relating to a Temporary Moratorium on Evicting Tenants and Declaring the Ordinance to be an Emergency Measure to take Effect Immediately, states in part the following:
Tenants who were afforded eviction protection under Sacramento City Code section 5.156.090.D shall have up to 120 days after the County of Sacramento proclaims the termination of the local public health emergency declared by the Sacramento County Public Health Officer on March 5, 2020, to pay their landlord all unpaid rent. During that 120-day period, the protections against eviction found in Sacramento City Code section 5.156.090.D apply for such tenants.

CDSS: Housing and Homelessness Programs

 Does a three-day pay or quit notice meet the program eligibility requirements for CDSS-funded
programs?

– A three-day pay or quit notice meets the eligibility requirements of imminent risk of
homelessness for CalWORKs HA, the BFH Program, HDAP, and Home Safe Program.

How can CDSS programs help with housing instability?
– CalWORKs HA can be used to pay up to two months of rental arrearages to prevent eviction.
Additionally, the CalWORKs HSP, BFH, HDAP, and Home Safe program funds can be used to
provide supports and financial assistance, as needed, to prevent program participants from
returning to homelessness.

For program participants impacted by COVID-19, can housing assistance be extended, including
rental or interim housing assistance?

– For all program participants, routine assessments of service and financial assistance
needs should be completed, and programs should provide necessary resources, consistent
with current program guidance, to ensure housing stability is ​maintained and loss of shelter
or returns to homelessness are avoided as much as possible

​Federal CARES Act Stimulus Payments


• Individuals who filed taxes in 2018, 2019, or are receiving Social Security benefits, and file using a Social Security Number are potentially eligible to receive a stimulus payment
(refundable credit). Some key rules are as follows:
– Those with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 (individual/head of household) or$150,000 (married filing jointly) and who are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s taxes, are eligible for $1,200 ($2,400 for married).
– Above those amounts, the credit goes down $5 for every $100 above the
$75,000/$150,000 limits. The credit is entirely phased-out at $99,000 for single filers, $136,500 for head of household filers with one child, and $198,000 for joint filers with no children.
– Additionally, those eligible for an adult payment also will receive an additional $500 per dependent child who is 16 years old or younger.

When will I get a payment?
Distribution has already begun and will continue for the next few weeks. You will receive a payment automatically with no action required if you:
• Filed taxes for 2018 or 2019
• Receive Social Security or Social Security Disability
• Receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – newly announced on April 15

What if I don't file taxes? 
If you receive veterans disability compensation, a pension, or survivor benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, or your income level does not require you to file a tax return, then you need to submit information to the IRS to receive an Economic Impact Payment.
You can send this information online at:
