Massachussetts

 

The state's pause on evictions expired on October 17, 2020. When the state moratorium expired, a federal moratorium established by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) became effective in Massachusetts. Through March 31, 2021, the CDC moratorium will prevent residential evictions for non-payment for qualified tenants who submit a written declaration to their landlord. Courts will accept filings and process cases, and may enter judgments but will not issue an order of execution (the court order that allows a landlord to evict a tenant) until after the expiration of the CDC order. Protection is limited to households who meet certain income and vulnerability criteria. (mass.gov) Read more here

On September 4, the CDC issued an eviction moratorium that protects many renters from being evicted for non-payment of rent. This moratorium has been extended and will now be in effect through at least January 31, 2021.  In order to halt an eviction during this time, you MUST fill out and sign a declaration form and give a copy to your landlord. Updates on extensions, the declaration form, and more information can be found online. (providenceri.gov) Read more here
