Starting on October 15th, landlords can start issuing eviction notices, even if missed payments are because of the pandemic.

But because of COVID, many still can't pay rent. 

The CDC has announced they are prohibiting evictions under certain conditions and that is when tenants are unable to pay rent, have tried to get rental assistance, have made best efforts to pay partial rent, have either received a stimulus payment or will make less than $99,000 this year, when eviction might leave tenants homeless. 

"If you are a covered person, and you are protected by the CDC moratorium and you properly filled out the declaration and provided to your landlord, what the CDC moratorium prohibits is the landlord from initiating an eviction action against you," says Ashley Cummins, Senior Attorney with the Nevada Legal Services. 

If you end the week with an eviction notice hanging on your doors, she says there are options. 

"Once you received the seven day pay rent or quit notice, that gives you seven judicial days to file the tenants affidavits with the proper court," says Cummings. 

Homeowners, landlords and tenants can also get help through the Rent and Mortgage Payment Assistance or Rental Mediation Program.
