Rent Relief

April 10, 2020

Dear Neighbor,
 
Earlier today, Governor Lamont issued Executive Order 7X, which enacts a series of protections for residential renters.

The protections include:

  •  Landlords are prohibited from issuing a notice to quit or beginning eviction proceedings before July 1, 2020
  • For rent due in April 2020, landlords must grant tenants an automatic, 60-day grace period for payment, instead of the existing 9-day grace period
  • For rent due in May 2020, landlords must grant a 60-day grace period for payment upon the request of tenants
  • A tenant must to notify the landlord that they have lost a job, lost hours, or otherwise lost revenue or faced significant increased expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
