Description of Program and Relief
Housing Resources and Eviction Protections
-
House Bill 1420 caps late fees at 10 percent of the periodic rent or 10 percent of the remaining balance due, whichever is lesser. This new law allows charges only on the amount due and sets a maximum late fee percentage.
-
House Bill 340 delays rental evictions or mortgage foreclosures for individuals who are not currently covered under the protections offered through the federal CARES Act or under state and local protections. Under this new law, a tenant may receive a 60-day continuance of an eviction proceeding from a court if the tenant appears in court and provides written evidence that the tenant is not receiving payments or wages due to the state of emergency declared by Governor Northam. Additionally, homeowners or landlords that rent one, four, or multifamily units in the Commonwealth can pause a foreclosure proceeding for 30 days if the homeowner or landlord provides their lender with written evidence of a loss of income due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
