Protecciones de desalojo durante COVID-19

La clase fue grabada el 23 de abril de 2020

Cuando alguien alquila una casa y tiene problemas para pagarle al propietario debido a los efectos de la crisis de COVID-19, es importante saber que existen órdenes y reglas de emergencia que probablemente protegen a los inquilinos de desalojo durante la pandemia, aunque no sea ayuda a largo plazo más allá de la crisis. En esta presentación, la abogada de derechos de vivienda Maria Hall explica cómo funcionan las nuevas reglas, discute los derechos y deberes de los propietarios e inquilinos durante la pandemia y da algunos consejos sobre qué esperar en el futuro.

Clase cubre:

  • Qué hacer si un inquilino no puede pagar la renta debido a la crisis de COVID-19
  • ¿Puede un propietario desalojar a alguien mientras las reglas de emergencia están vigentes?
  • ¿Cuándo tendrá que pagar el inquilino los pagos de renta perdidos?
  • Derechos y deberes de los propietarios durante la crisis
  • Qué esperar cuando se levantan las reglas de emergencia
