Allow landlords to evict tenants for owner move-ins during city's eviction moratorium
In Plain English
Richmond has banned most evictions since March 2021 during the local emergency. The city council voted to add an exception allowing property owners to move into their rental units and evict current tenants. If approved, affected tenants receive relocation payments under existing city law.
