CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) INFORMATION
Updated November 11, 2020 ‐The Federal CARES Act expired on July 25, 2020, but various provisions in the Act relating to the posting of notices still apply to properties covered by the Act. Effective September 4, 2020 the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued an agency order that may operate as a moratorium on some non-payment evictions throughout the United States. For those Tenants who meet the various criteria under the CDC Order, then any eviction proceeding for non-payment of rent may potentially be stayed upon the Tenant submitting an affidavit to the Court. The CDC Order does not affect other types of evictions (ie: holdovers, 7 Day Notice violations, etc.) or unlawful detainer actions.
We are filing residential non-payment evictions and prosecuting them in compliance with these various executive and agency orders. For properties with federally backed mortgages (FHA, VA, etc.) or that receive subsidized rent (Section 8, etc.), we are also filing residential non-payment evictions after the posting of a 30 Day Notices to Pay or Vacate. Evictions for any basis other than non-payment of rent that do not have federally backed mortgages (FHA, VA, etc.) or receive subsidized rent (Section 8, etc.) can be filed with no restrictions. Contact us at 904-374-9430 so we can discuss your specific situation and your options for proceeding.
Tenants are still required to pay their rent. However, in these extraordinary times some relief to your Tenant's may be justified. In that respect, we have posted the following forms to our FREE FORMS section that you may find useful:
