March 16, 2020 – Governor Gavin Newsom issues a new executive order that authorizes local governments to halt evictions for renters and homeowners, slows foreclosures, and protects against utility shutoffs for Californians affected by the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. The basis for the eviction is nonpayment of rent, or a foreclosure, arising out of a substantial decrease in the household or business income (including, but not limited to, a substantial decrease in household income caused by layoffs or a reduction in the number of compensable hours of work, or a
sub sta n tia l decrease in business income caused by a reduction in opening hours or consumer demand), or substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses, and is documented.
Many utility providers, public and private, covering electricity, gas, water, and sewer, have voluntarily announced moratoriums on service disconnections and late fees for non-payment in response to COVID-19.
Additionally, many telecommunication companies, including internet and cell phone providers, have voluntarily announced moratoriums on service disconnections and late fees for non-payment in response to COVID-19.
