The new orders have been modified to address the backlog of unpaid rent some Austin landlords may have.
Beginning June 1, officials say landlords are no longer prohibited from filing a Notice of Eviction if their tenant has unpaid rent for five or more months and has exhausted all rental assistance remedies. We have used these eviction protections as an important tool to keep our community safe and housed as part of our COVID-19 response, said Travis County Judge Andy Brown. We now have additional significant investments in rental assistance for tenants and landlords, and this modified order encourages our community to apply for rental assistance before someone can be evicted.

AUSTIN, Texas - Mass vaccination sites have been held throughout Travis County since January, and each time around, they figure out how to improve. Every week we do it we learn more about how to make it easier and how to reach more people, said Travis County Judge Andy Brown. We’re trying to lower as many barriers as possible, said Judge Brown. Frankly, having to register ahead of time on a website was one of those barriers.
