CARES Act ending date, anyone?

Anyone know when the Cares Act stops paying for qualified individuals? I have tenants that are difficult to deal with and I need to evict. I currently get paid their rent by the CARES Act. I know after the CARES Act stops paying their rent they aren't going to be able to make their payments because it doesn't look like they want to go back to work. After which I can file for non payment of rent based eviction. I am trying to work out the timeline ...anyone know about the end to the CARES Act payments to individuals for rent ?

You have to look at your state-specific website and it should explain what your options are. My states is very clear: if I accept my tenant's application for rental assistance, I agree to stop all eviction actions until their application is processed and I won't evict them for non-payment of rent during any period ERAP is paying for their rent. For example, one of my tenants was paid future rent through November so I can't evict them until after that money has been spent.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the note. Yes I’m aware that I can’t evict them till the cares is paying which is why I’m asking when they are stopping. Once they stop paying, I know my tenants are not going to be able to pay and so I can evict based on non payment of rent. I couldn’t find the link for this- can you pls share for NJ pls?
