On August 31, the State of California enacted the Tenant, Homeowner, and Small Landlord Relief Act (AB 3088). AB 3088’s Tenant Relief Act creates eviction protections for tenants experiencing COVID-19 financial hardship effective immediately. All residential properties in Mountain View are covered, including single-family homes, condos/townhomes, duplexes, apartments, mobile homes and mobile home spaces and other types of residential rental units. This new State law supersedes the City of Mountain View's residential eviction moratorium, including the eviction moratorium extension just approved by Council on August 25, 2020. Tenants are protected by, and tenants and landlords must follow, the State’s requirements and not the City’s. Residential tenants receive eviction protection for nonpayment of rent due between March 1, 2020 and January 31, 2021. More information can be found at MountainView.gov/EvictionRelief.
