Camarillo tenants are protected from evictions related to Coronavirus/COVID-19 income disruptions. Until at least May 31, 2020, Camarillo landlords shall not endeavor to evict a tenant for non-payment of rent due to financial disruption related to Coronavirus/COVID-19.
To qualify for eviction protections, Camarillo tenants must:
- Demonstrate that the Coronavirus/COVID-19 has impacted them;
- Within 30 days after the date that the rent is due, provide to the landlord written notice of inability to pay rent due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 impact, with supporting documentation.
Under the Camarillo Coronavirus/COVID-19 eviction moratorium, impacts include:
- Contracting Coronavirus/COVID-19;
- Income disruption via layoff, wage or hour reduction, business closure, or other income reduction resulting from Coronavirus/COVID-19; or,
- Extraordinary out-of-pocket medical expenses related to Coronavirus/COVID-19.
Supporting documentation likely includes, paystubs, time cards, proof of out-of-pocket medical expenses related to Coronavirus/COVID-19, proof of medical care or quarantine, employer notes, or doctors citing the Coronavirus/COVID-19.
