County Extends Rent Grace Period for Tenants Who Have Applied for Assistance Published: 13 July 2021
With the state declining to extend the eviction moratorium further, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners has voted to give a 90-day period of protection to tenants who can show documentation that they have applied for rent assistance.
A statewide moratorium on all evictions enacted to protect tenants during the pandemic expired last month, despite a push to include an extension in the recently passed Senate Bill 282. Under that provision, tenants cannot be evicted for back rent owed from April 2020 until June 30 of this year, and they now have until February 2022 to repay landlords. But SB 282 did nothing to ease the minds of tenants who are still unable to make rent this month and any time after.

âThis day, I find myself as a social justice seeker and artist-activist, from years, decades, being called upon to provide vocals, to provide lyrical content to the struggle for human rights, Keller said. âI will not sit idly by. I will not sit silently while this world continues to spiral outward into chaos.â
