Description of Program and Relief
Moratorium on Certain Residential and Commercial Evictions
The City of Long Beach has issued an emergency ordinance placing a moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent by residential and commercial tenants financially impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. The emergency ordinance also prohibits landlords from assessing late fees for non-payment of rent to tenants financially impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Tenants have until July 31, 2021, to pay all delayed rent to landlords without incurring late charges or other fees.
The moratorium does not apply to large commercial tenants that are: multi-national or publicly traded companies; companies with 500 or more employees; and tenants at the Long Beach Airport, tenants in the Harbor, or tenants in the Tidelands areas.
Government or Lead Agency
Long Beach City Council
Dates Available
Effective March 24 through September 30, 2020. The ordinance also applies retroactively to any eviction notice served after March 4.
Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
Tenants must provide notice to their landlord that the tenant cannot afford to pay their rent within three days of receiving an eviction notice. The tenant must also provide documentation proving they have had a substantial loss of income due to COVID-19.
As noted above, the moratorium does not apply to large commercial tenants that are: multi-national or publicly traded companies; companies with 500 or more employees; and tenants at the Long Beach Airport, tenants in the Harbor, or tenants in the Tidelands areas.
Application Deadlines (If Applicable)
Tenants must provide notice to their landlord within three days of receiving an eviction notice.
