Extend grace period for tenants to pay back rent owed during COVID-19
In Plain English
The city currently gives residential and commercial tenants extra time to pay rent they couldn't afford during the pandemic. This extends that grace period longer. If approved, tenants who fell behind on rent due to COVID-19 financial hardship get more time before facing eviction for unpaid back rent.
