Description of Program and Relief
Eviction Moratorium
To provide relief to residential and commercial tenants financially impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, the City of San Diego has approved a temporary ban on evictions until September 30, 2020.
The ban does not relieve tenants of their obligation to pay rent. Tenants who are protected from evictions by this ban will have up to six months from the date the ordinance is effective (March 25, 2020 to September 25, 2020) or the date Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-28-20 is withdrawn, whichever occurs soonest, to pay their landlords all unpaid rent.
Government or Lead Agency
San Diego City Council
Dates Available
March 25, 2020 to September 30, 2020
Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
Within one week of providing written notice, the tenant must also provide documentation or objectively verifiable information showing such financial impacts (e.g., pay stubs or bank statements showing a loss of income, medical bills, termination notice, statement from employer). Tenants must demonstrate a substantial decrease in income—household income for a resident or business income for a commercial tenant—or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses.
Tenants who do not provide such documentation can still be subject to eviction for non-payment of rent.
Application Deadlines (If Applicable)
Written notice must be provided to the landlord on or before the date rent is due. Within one week of providing notice, the tenant must provide documentation or objectively verifiable information demonstrating the financial impacts of COVID-19.
