Landlords | Real Estate Investors | Tenant’s AB 3088 is merely meant to be a temporary stopgap to get the Legislature through the end of January and provide it with needed time to develop a more permanent solution. The legislation covers rent payments from March 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021, only. Below are key points on Repayment & Evictions: ... 1. The protected period is from March 1, 2020, through August 31, 2020. Rent is due for this period. This period requires a property owner to provide a written form declaration to renters informing them that they have rental payments due but cannot be evicted if they attest that they have a COVID-19 financial hardship. The also bill requires those who make at or above 130% Area Media Income (AMI) to provide additional proof of hardship. 130% AMI is determined by what has been published by the Department of Housing and Community Development in the Official State Income Limits for 2020, for the county in which the residential rental property is located. 2. The transitional period is from September 1, 2020, until January 31, 2021. During this period, a renter who has not made rental payments cannot be evicted if they pay 25% of their rent either monthly or in the aggregate by January 31, 2021. Renters are still responsible for repaying unpaid rent, but it cannot be the basis of eviction until January 31, 2021. 3. The bill provides that, until February 1, 2025, a small claims court has jurisdiction in any action for recovery of COVID-19 rental debt, regardless of the amount demanded. 4. Evictions to protect health and safety will be allowed, and evictions that commenced prior to March 1, 2020, may proceed. 5. In order to evict a renter on or after February 1, property owners must give a 15-day written notice (not including weekends and judicial holidays).
