Q: I live in North Lauderdale at arium lakeside I have not received unemployment or stimulus check can I be evictied
My Lease is up in June
A: At the moments, writs of possession are not being served by the sheriff, and it might be that the Courts are not processing eviction suits. however, that's going to change. Once the Courts begin processing and the sheriff begins serving, you don't have a defense to eviction - you are required to pay your rent, period. There are places hiring, even now.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: The new Cares Act passed by Congress last month provides some protection for tenants struggling to pay rent or being evicted for not paying rent. However, there are some important exceptions which might not give you any protection in your particular situation. I am advising all my clients NOT to try to use the Corona virus pandemic as a excuse to ignore you regular obligations--such as rent. Talk to your landlord now--about the possibility of you not being able to pay 100% of the monthly rent due in May--because of this situation.
