Here’s What’s New
Chief of San Mateo County Health Louise Rogers,, reported 165 COVID-19 cases including, 5 deaths in San Mateo County. Rogers stated testing is still evolving. The number of cases in San Mateo County is expected to increase dramatically, with an anticipated “Peak” in approximately 3 weeks, that will continue into mid May.
San Mateo County Temporary Moratorium on Evictions
A temporary moratorium has been placed on all COVID-19 related residential evictions for the non-payment of rent, in all 20 cities and unincorporated areas in San Mateo County. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to prohibit landlords from evicting tenants who demonstrate an inability to pay rent due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, through at least May 31, 2020. Tenants will have up to 180 days after the regulation’s end to pay delayed rents. Supervisor Canepa stated “For too many of my constituents right now, April’s rent payment is simply out of reach”. The eviction moratorium is unique, in that board actions are normally restricted to unincorporated lands governed by the county. “We are showing state leadership,” Supervisor Dave Pine said. “We are the first in the state to move to do this.” Paramount to the decision was the very real threat of further exacerbating the regions homeless epidemic and threat to public health evictions would impose on communities currently under a statewide “Shelter at Home” order. San Francisco has passed a similar moratorium and the San Mateo City Council unanimously approved a moratorium on evictions of small businesses and nonprofit organizations earlier this week.
