California SB1155 provides temporary protections for federal employees and contractors facing eviction due to nonpayment of rent during a government.
California SB1155 aims to protect federal employees and contractors from eviction during a government shutdown. It defines a "covered tenant" as someone materially impacted by a shutdown, prohibiting landlords from initiating evictions for nonpayment of rent or fees during the shutdown and for 30 days after. Courts must stay eviction proceedings if the tenant's ability to pay is affected. Landlords cannot charge late fees or penalties. Tenants must provide proof of their federal employment and the shutdown's impact. Violation of these protections can result in a civil penalty.
