Description
Andrea Kennedy and Patricia Black, analysts with the Housing Division for the City of Mountain View share information with about the temporary eviction moratorium in Mountain View.
In late December 2019, several cases of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 emerged in China and in January 2020, the World Health Organization ("WHO") declared COVID-l9 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. As a result of the spread of the virus, on March 17th the Mountain View City Council approved a local emergency declaration in response to the pandemic.
In these difficult times, there is a lot of uncertainty on how we are going to be affected by this crisis. To help stabilize the community, and, in the interest of protecting public health and safety and preventing the spread of the virus, the City Council adopted a temporary eviction moratorium on March 27, 2020. The moratorium suspends evictions for non-payment of rent for residential tenants financially impacted by the health crisis. Please, check the City website for updates at mountainview.gov/evictionrelief.
We will be doing a Q&A style video to talk about the key components of this moratorium.
