Unless you make more than $99,000 a year, it’s still illegal for your landlords to evict you or force you to pay rent. Note that you’re not signing up for rent relief; you will be expected to pay back all of your rent once the ban is lifted (or alternatively, enter into a repayment plan with your landlord). What if I can’t afford to pay rent when the ban is lifted? Just remember, if you are worried about eviction, you shouldn’t have to pay rent until July. If your landlord is ignoring the CDC moratorium, consider contacting a local legal aid organization for advice.
