EDIT 3/27/2020: most recent Order from Mayor Breed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lfMZ5eG4ZuahamX0AcXjnZ8leeM9MLck/view?usp=sharing

The below should be helpful for tenants and service providers.

Moratorium on most all residential evictions

On March 23, 2020, Mayor Breed ordered that no landlord may attempt to recover possession of a residential unit unless due to violence, threats of violence, or health and safety issues. This moratorium will last for 60 days after the Mayor’s Order expires. The Order is set to expire on April 22, 2020 , which means the moratorium would last until June 21, 2020, unless the Mayor extends the Expiration Date further.

Moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent

The March 23 Order replaces a prior Mayoral order (dated March 13, 2020) to establish a new and expanded procedure for when a tenant has missed a rent payment due to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 crisis.

Guidelines for moratoriums on residential evictions

See the detailed guidance on the moratoriums for tenants and landlords. It is published by the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD).
