Allow landlords to evict tenants for owner move-ins during eviction moratorium
In Plain English
Richmond has banned most evictions since March 2021 during the local emergency. The current moratorium only allows evictions for health and safety threats, unpaid rent from early 2020-2021, or removing property from rental market. If approved, landlords can also evict tenants to move into their own rental property, though tenants receive relocation payments.
