WHY: Santa Clara County recently passed a three-month extension of its eviction moratorium. Law Foundation of Silicon Valley attorneys and advocates will provide an overview of the law and answer questions related to the moratorium for tenants who are concerned about being able to pay rent on June 1. The webinars will also discuss new protections that have been added to San Jose’s eviction moratorium.
Michael Trujillo, an attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, said during Tuesday’s meeting that the eviction moratorium should be extended to the “greatest extent possible.”
“This protection is the only thing keeping many families in their homes during this unprecedented pandemic because many cities have not taken up the invitation to pass their own moratoria,” Trujillo said. “Santa Clara County has been slower to reopen than other places in the state and tenants haven’t had a chance to earn an income to resume their regular rent payments on June 1.”
