Ricardo, this is horrible. Both city of San Diego and state of California has extended eviction moratorium to end of September. So they went from June 30 to July 28 to September 30. Damn, they are screwing landlords while giving tenants (who don't deserve it) a free ride. The government is screwing is pretty good.
We have to get active and vote these lawmakers out

As a Result of COVID-19, AB 1436 (Chiu) Is Introduced.Tenants May Be Authorized To Indefinitely Stop Paying Rent♦♦♦♦♦♦Please call our Senators (listed below) and urge them to VOTE NO ! This bill may be voted in the Senate Judiciary Committee within the next few weeks and if Assembly member Chiu and his co-authors are successful, it will be immediately sent to the Senate floor for a vote. ABOUT THE BILLAny default in the payment of rent that occurs by any tenant during the current State of Emergency due to COVID-19, initially put in place by the Governor on March 4, 2020, cannot be the basis for an action of unlawful detainer. This prevents evictions for non-payment of rent or a lawsuit for collection of unpaid rent for an indefinite, unspecified period. The bill declares that:
- It shall be unlawful to terminate all tenancies based on a failure to pay rent.
- No court will award possession and no tenant will have violated the unlawful detainer law for failure to pay rent within ninety (90) days from the end of State of Emergency’s (the end is unknown and cannot be determined at this time).
- There shall be a blanket exemption for all tenants regardless of their employment status or financial ability to pay rent.
- Tenants who receive guaranteed government payment or rent subsidies can also stop paying rent.
