California Legislature adjourns without extending COVID eviction moratorium

California lawmakers on Friday night adjourned for the year without extending the statewide COVID-19 eviction moratorium, all but cementing its expiration on Sept. 30.

Although the moratorium is slated to end, elements of the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act, which includes the limited local preemption, will carry on. For example, that law continues to prohibit local governments from creating their own eviction restrictions for nonpayment of rent through March 31, 2022.
