The Moratorium's new expiration date is July 31, 2021, unless extended, modified, or rescinded. See https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/pdf/CDC_Eviction_Extension_Order_Final_06242021.pdf

However, this extension is intended to be the LAST extension.

What Should A Tenant Do to Assert COVID 19 Rights?

Note, the Moratorium is NOT automatic.  Tenants should consider completing the CDC Declaration/Affidavit and sending it to their landlords via certified mail or use this form builder:  https://www.covid19evictionforms.com/ to create one.

If a landlord files an eviction, to be afforded protection under the Moratorium, Tenants must serve their landlords with the CDC Declaration/Affidavit, and Tenants must file a copy of it with the court.

Tenants in Florida should also note that the Moratorium does not stop three-day notices or five-day summons from being served.  Nor does the Moratorium prevent an eviction judgment from being entered.  It merely prohibits the eviction process where the eviction court directs a sheriff to come to the rental home to remove tenants physically.

Conclusion

It's time to plan right now!!!

Although President Biden has extended the eviction moratorium to July 31, 2021, Tenants must still take affirmative action to avail themselves of such protection.  Tenants must prove to the court that they served the landlord with the CDC Declaration/Affidavit and that they are entitled to protections thereunder.  Also, Tenants should be prepared for the eviction process to proceed normally up until actual removal from the rental home.

However, it's time to plan an exit now.
