California’s statewide pause on paying rent is set to end on Sunday. Here are five things to know for renters and landlords:When is rent due?In the City of Sacramento, rent is due on June 1. Right now, the statewide eviction moratorium is set to expire on Sunday. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive action allowed people to pause on paying rent in April and May. The City of Sacramento has a similar moratorium in line with the state’s protection program and it is also set to expire on Sunday.According to Tina Lee-Vogt, who manages the city’s Tenant Protection Program, renters are responsible for paying rent on June 1. What if I can’t pay rent?If state, city and county leaders do not extend existing eviction moratoriums, there is still another safeguard in place to protect people who may not be able to pay come Monday.Right now, renters cannot be evicted because the California Judicial Council issued emergency rules that ban courts from processing evictions and foreclosures until 90 days after the governor ends the state of emergency.Newsom has not said when he will be lifting the emergency proclamation. Lee-Vogt said that means renters in Sacramento can stay put until at least Aug. 31. When is my back rent due?For people in Sacramento who opted to delay rent payments in April and May, Lee-Vogt said that back rent is due by the end of September under the city’s current eviction moratorium.Since city leaders know paying back rent will be a struggle for some, the city is providing $150,000 for mediation services. “Our biggest message is really trying to figure out how landlords and tenants can work together and really seeing what we as a city can do to support both the tenant and the landlord so we can kind of get past this crisis,” Lee-Vogt said. Will eviction moratoriums be extended?KCRA 3 reached out to Newsom’s office to ask if he will be extending the eviction moratorium and has not heard back. In the city of Sacramento, Mayor Darrell Steinberg says he wants protections extended. In a statement, Steinberg said: “My office is working with both state and local government to make sure that our renters remain protected while COVID-19 compromises their ability to earn a living.”In Sacramento County, there are not yet plans to extend the county moratorium, according to a spokeswoman. However, according to county officials, with the Judicial Council rules in place, tenants will still be protected even if the county moratorium expires.What are renter and property owner advocates saying?Affordable housing advocates are concerned about the future and want cities, counties and the state to extend eviction protections. Cathy Creswell, the board president for the Sacramento Housing Alliance, weighed in:“It is unlikely that many of those tenants are going to be able to make up the rent that they lost during that time, even if they’re going back to work. So we’re going to need protections that extend well beyond the time the stay-at-home orders and the economy starts picking up,” she said. Creswell said the responsibility to protect tenants does not just fall on the state, but local government as well. “Cities and counties have the authority to extend the moratorium,” she said. “They have the authority, regardless of what the state does, to extend these moratoriums, and we are urging that all the cities and the counties in this region to do so.” Meanwhile, the California Rental Housing Association represents 22,000 rental home providers across the state. Without rent coming in, some property owners may face their own financial squeeze.“Whether it’s painters and housekeepers and landscaping and all the things it takes to provide and maintain a home, we write checks every month. We have those expenses every month. And we also have mortgages to pay,” said executive director Russell Lowery. According to Lowery, 95% of their tenants are paying rent. Even so, they hope the state provides loans or grants funded by the federal coronavirus relief bill to renters who cannot pay. “The idea of this mass eviction happening was never a reality. We’ve worked with our tenants, our property managers and owners have been having those conversations with their tenants, hundreds of thousands of them going on all around the state,” he said. “We’re all in this together.”
