County Officials Encourage Landlords and Tenants to Seek Available Emergency Rental Assistance Funds to Keep Tenants Housed
County Executive Steuart Pittman and Kathleen Koch, Executive Director, Arundel Community Development Services, Inc. (ACDS) lauded the extension of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) federal moratorium on evictions for Failure to Pay Rent through June 30, 2021, and they urge tenants and landlords to use this additional time to take advantage of the County’s Emergency Eviction Program. They asked that landlords refrain from evicting tenants for other reasons, such as failure to renew leases in the meantime.
