Eviction Protection
State of California
The best protection against eviction is to know your rights:
The State of California eviction moratorium ended September 30, 2021. State law prevented landlords from seeking eviction of tenants who were eligible for the rent relief program without first completing a rental assistance application with the program.
- Eligible tenants who completed an application with the program may be protected from eviction for non-payment of rent.
City of Stockton
If the address of your residential rental property is within the city limits of Stockton, a City Ordinance offers additional eviction protection through a moratorium that is in effect until 90-days after the State of California COVID-19 Emergency Declaration is lifted.
