Starting August 1st, payments come due for back rent due for tenants that were impacted by COVID-19. The deadline comes after several extensions were made to give tenants more time to get on their feet financially after going through hardship due to the pandemic. However, as of March 31st, many tenant protections expired, leaving the door open for landlords to potentially evict tenants due to non-payment of rent.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: My landlord is pressing for a repayment plan for the unpaid COVID-19 debt. Can landlords require tenants to agree to a repayment plan although my income is still impacted by COVID-19?
A: No, a tenant is not required to enter into a repayment plan for unpaid rent. However, it is a good idea to keep your landlord updated on when you will be able to pay back the rent if possible. Tenants have until August 1, 2023, to pay back unpaid COVID-19 debt from rent owed from 3/1/2020 to 9/30/2021; and rent owed from 10/1/2021 to 1/31/2023 tenants must pay by February 1, 2024.
Q: I am still impacted by COVID-19, will my landlord be able to evict me if I do not pay my rent beginning on April 1, 2023?
A: Yes, tenants must pay their full current monthly rent since there are no longer eviction protections due to COVID-19 for non-payment of rent beginning April 1, 2023. Tenants still have eviction protections for unpaid COVID-19 rental debt accrued from 3/1/2020 to 1/31/2023.
