eviction moratorium

San Diego City Councilmembers voted Tuesday on two separate measures to help residents in America’s Finest City struggling with housing issues due to the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on the economy.

The city’s eviction moratorium, which was slated to end Wednesday, when many unemployed San Diegans were worrying about paying rent on July 1, was extended through September, giving residents more time to come up with their payments.

San Diego City Councilmembers will consider creating a rental relief program and to expand the eviction moratorium.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has decided to again suspend eviction enforcement following an outcry from local leaders that the agency was going to resume the practice amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s the first of the month and rent or mortgage payments are due. But many San Diegans tell NBC 7 they will not be able to make May’s payment because they’ve lost their jobs due to the coronavirus.

Rent and mortgage payments are due but some San Diegan’s can’t afford to pay it. NBC 7’s Melissa Adan has more.

The Poway City Council has passed a moratorium on commercial evictions to help those affected by the coronavirus, a spokeswoman said Wednesday.
