Governor Newsom Takes Executive Action to Establish a Statewide Moratorium on Evictions
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Governor's Press Office Friday, March 27, 2020 (916) 445-4571Governor Newsom Takes Executive Action to Establish a Statewide Moratorium on Evictions
The order is effective immediately and will apply through May 31, 2020Builds on the Governor’s previous executive action authorizing local governments to halt evictionsSACRAMENTO – Governor Gavin Newsom today issued an executive order banning the enforcement of eviction orders for renters affected by COVID-19 through May 31, 2020. The order prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for nonpayment of rent and prohibits enforcement of evictions by law enforcement or courts. It also requires tenants to declare in writing, no more than seven days after the rent comes due, that the tenant cannot pay all or part of their rent due to COVID-19.
The tenant would be required to retain documentation but not required to submit it to the landlord in advance. And the tenant would remain obligated to repay full rent in “a timely manner” and could still face eviction after the enforcement moratorium is lifted. The order takes effect immediately, and provides immediate relief to tenants for whom rent is due on April 1st.
Today’s action builds on Governor Newsom’s previous executive order authorizing local governments to halt evictions for renters impacted by the pandemic.
A copy of the Governor’s executive order can be found here and the text of the order can also be found here.

Remember, Never Never Never sign a long-term lease in a mobilehome park you do not have to, it is not a law and you can challenge it!Carquinez Highlands Mobilehome Park Fees:
Also we have at the Carquinez Highlands Mobilehome Park, I am working very closely with Walter Newhall Jr. on waving the service charge you find on your bill each month, and it goes back a number of years and is now up to $22.86, as it seems to increase quite “frequently”, this is not our responsibility to keep his water lines up in a mobilehome park. I don’t care to do this. This is like a pass-through people are paying it as I am myself, this is illegal and I will stop it this, as it is called failure to maintain, it opens them up for a lawsuit! Remember folks we just rent the dirt, they are to supply water lines, gas lines, electrical and sewer when you rent the space. I hope you have Rent Stabilization in your area!Please visit this website or call us at 707-248-6155

VMC also helped coordinate remediation efforts to address the causes of those evictions. Working together, the evictions were cancelled.
VMC especially thanks Senator Bill Dodd and Governor Gavin Newsom for their quick support in averting this tragedy. Through their actions they proved that they truly understand the meaning of 'public service'.
