Alexis Krell: Pierce County starts free eviction resolution program before COVID-19 moratorium ends
News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 12/18/2020 Alexis Krell, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
Dec. 17 Pierce County Superior Court has started an eviction resolution program before moratoriums in response to the COVID-19 pandemic end. Currently there are both federal and state mandates suspending evictions based on the non-payment of rent, the court said in a news release Thursday. Once those mandates end, Pierce County expects a large number of eviction cases to be filed in Superior Court.
Gov. Jay Inslee s eviction moratorium and the federal eviction moratorium are both set to expire Dec. 31.
Many landlords and tenants have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently there are both federal and state mandates suspending evictions based on the non-payment of rent. Once those mandates end, Pierce County expects a large number of eviction cases to be filed in Superior Court.
To address this anticipated increase in eviction cases, Pierce County Superior Court has established an Eviction Resolution Program (ERP) which will require parties to engage in problem-solving steps before the cases come to court. This program is being offered at no cost.
The goal of the ERP is to bring tenants and landlords together with trained Eviction Resolution Specialists to explore solutions. This includes accessing state and local rent assistance and creating realistic payment plans that will help tenants retain their housing and avoid eviction, while landlords benefit from continuity of occupancy and income.
