California Eviction and Foreclosure Bans



California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order making it clear that local city governments can impose eviction protections for tenants who are unable to pay their rent because of the coronavirus or loss of income as a result of the outbreak. Almost immediately, San Francisco, San Diego, and many other California cities, announced such bans. Currently it looks like these bans are effective until May 31, 2020, unless extended. What I find disturbing about this compassionate order is the fact that I have not seen any definitive outline of how the rental owners are going to be compensated for what could easily be thousands in unpaid rent! Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order definitively states that California cities can put the bans in effect immediately, but only asks mortgage lenders to look for solutions granting some relief. Personally, I believe that before or in unison with our California governor and cities issuing these bans they should have clearly defined how the rental owners would be compensated for their loss of rental income.....
