Click here for a print-friendly version.

Mayor Durkan has extended the City’s residential and small-business/nonprofit eviction moratoriums through January 15, 2022. When the moratorium sunsets, the 6-month grace period provided in Ordinance 126075 for residential tenants suffering a hardship due to COVID-19 will still apply, as will the City’s moratorium on winter evictions, thereby effectively prohibiting evictions for many residential tenants through July 2022.

The text of the Executive Order can be found here.

This Executive Order extends the effects of the prior eviction moratoriums, a summary of which can be found here.
