• Are you a landlord filing a Complaint in Summary Ejectment after August 26, 2021?
• Are you a tenant facing eviction after August 26, 2021?

There is no longer a CDC nor any state eviction moratorium in effect. Courts will likely see an increase in landlord-tenant disputes in the coming weeks and months, and the Housing Opportunities and Prevention of Evictions (HOPE) Program may help.

The HOPE Program offers landlords and qualifying tenants an opportunity to resolve some of those disputes without litigation. It is aimed at low-income tenants who have experienced financial hardships due to the economic impacts of COVID-19. The program will pay the landlords of eligible applicants up to 12 months of rent, which may include up to nine months of past due rent. (Rent payments are capped at the fair market rent for a two-bedroom unit in the tenant’s county.) It will also provide utility payment assistance for eligible low-income tenants. Please note that participation in the HOPE Program is optional. Neither landlords nor tenants can be compelled to take part.

Please see this flyer for an overview of the HOPE Program. More detailed information can be found at the program’s website.
