Landlords, tenants groups both back eviction moratorium

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Groups representing tenants and landlords in the Spokane area both voiced support for a recently-issued moratorium on evictions.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee ordered the moratorium on Wednesday as the fallout of the COVID-19 outbreak threatens to seriously damage the global economy.

For the next 30 days, landlords cannot evict tenants because of a failure to pay rent. They also can't issue "no-cause" or "20-day" notices to month-to-month tenants unless there is evidence of a threat to health or safety.

Evictions for violating rental agreements, often called 10-day notices, appear to remain legal under the order.

1. Bet a lot of landlords don't want to go looking for new tenants in this environment.

Hope things workout decently for all involved.

2. Well, there is that...

Hopefully some of the stimulus bill covers this aspect. Hell, the cash payout, if they do it, would go a long way for most folks rent payment.
