This is the bill sitting on the Governor's desk waiting for him to sign it.https://malegislature.gov/Bills/191/H4647Here are some of the highlights of the bill once it is signed.Term of the moratoriumTakes effect immediately upon passage.Ends the sooner of120 days from passage or45 days after the lifting of the COVID-19 emergency.May be extended by the governor in increments of not more than 90 days, but not further than 45 days after lifting of the emergency.Features as to evictionsBroadly defines the concept of “non-essential evictions” to include evictionsfor non-payment of rent;resulting from a foreclosure;for no fault or no cause; orfor cause that does not involve or include allegations of activity that may impact the health or safety of other residents or others.Imposes a moratorium on court filings or court action on non-essential evictions and tolls all pending deadlines for actions required by parties in non-essential eviction cases.Applies moratorium to both small business or residential evictions, defining small business as in-state privately held companies with less than 150 employees.Prohibits sheriffs and others from enforcing execution of eviction orders.For residential tenants, prohibits landlords even from sending notices requesting that a tenant vacate a premise.Does not relieve a tenant of the obligation to pay the rent due — it just temporarily prevents enforcement of the right to collect past due rent.Allows a landlord to apply a deposit of last month’s rent to cover expenses if tenant is not paying rent.
