Description of Program and Relief

30-Day Residential Eviction Moratorium for Tenants Impacted by COVID-19

The Fremont City Council enacted an immediate 30-day moratorium on (1) residential evictions for failure to pay rent due to the financial impacts related to COVID-19, and (2) no-fault evictions unless a hazardous condition affecting tenants or neighbors makes it immediately necessary. Renters will remain responsible for any unpaid rent during this time. The moratorium also forbids the charging of late fees so long as tenants have repaid half of any overdue rent within 90 days and all of the outstanding rent within 180 days of the expiration of the declared local emergency.
