Establishes a winter moratorium on evictions to protect tenants from displacement during cold weather.
The "winter moratorium on evictions act" prohibits evictions of tenants from residential properties during winter months, defined as November through April. The act aims to prevent homelessness and its associated health risks, particularly in cold weather. Evictions during winter are linked to increased mortality, mental and physical health issues, and job loss. The moratorium applies to all pending eviction proceedings and judgments issued during this period. Tenants retain their rights and obligations, including the right to safe and sanitary living conditions.
