SB3477

Eviction moratorium for tenants affected by immigration detention or loss of federal benefits.

The bill creates a 12-month eviction moratorium for tenants affected by immigration detention or loss of federal benefits. Specifically, it prohibits courts from issuing eviction orders and landlords from initiating eviction actions against tenants who have been detained by immigration authorities or lost benefits from SNAP, Medicaid, or Social Security within the previous 12 months. It also prohibits landlords from charging fees or penalties related to nonpayment of rent during this period.
