(KNSI) – The federal eviction moratorium will expire on Saturday, but many Minnesotans worried about losing their place to live can rest easy for now.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) eviction moratorium is currently slated to end July 31, potentially affecting thousands of American renters behind on their rent.
Last month, Minnesota lawmakers approved protections for renters who are eligible for federal emergency rental assistance.
Renters are protected from eviction for nonpayment of rent while an application for assistance is pending.
The protection is in place until June 1, 2022.
Renters who’ve had a material violation of their lease or who are eligible for rental assistance but refuse to apply may be evicted.
Minnesota renters who are not eligible for emergency rental assistance and owe back rent are protected from eviction until September 12.
Both the federal and state eviction moratoriums were put in place to help people stay in their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Renters can apply for rental assistance or learn more about the application process by visiting RentHelpMN.org or calling Greater Twin Cities United Way’s 211 Resource Helpline (Toll Free: 1.800.543.7709; Local: 651.291.0211).
The 211 helplines have dedicated multilingual staff available to answer questions about RentHelpMN COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance, 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
To date, RentHelpMN has distributed more than $26.5 million to cover overdue rent and utilities.
A dashboard of the RentHelpMN program can be found on Minnesota Housing’s website.
