Q: We gave the tenants 30 day vacate notice in July.
We gave the tenants 30 day vacate notice in July. They stopped paying rent since. We filed non-rent payment with the court and obtained the judgment and possession of the house in October. However we couldn’t evict them since they provided the CDC declaration. They just paid their December rent. Can we evict them due to lease expiration back in July?
A: Yes. You may have to give another 30 day notice, but the moratorium does not apply to leases that have ended. If you decide to hire a lawyer, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help.
A: In accordance with the recent Executive Order issued by President Biden, there is a moratorium on evictions at this time, so you cannot proceed with an eviction.
