Santa Ana eviction protection extended to Sept. 30 and 100% past-due rental assistance available

The State of California has extended residential eviction protections through Sept. 30, 2021. Tenants who were financially impacted by COVID-19 are protected from eviction for nonpayment of rent if the tenant provides their landlord with a signed declaration of financial distress. By Sept. 30, 2021, tenants must pay at least 25% of the rent due during the period of Sept. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) residential eviction moratorium also was extended through July 31, 2021. Learn more about the federal eviction protections.
