All tenants, regardless of whether they submitted a written declaration of financial hardship to their landlord, need to pay any nonpayment balance that accrued between April 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 by February 28, 2022.

Between July 1, 2021 and February 28, 2022, tenants who have applied for rent assistance have a safe harbor from termination or eviction due to nonpayment of rent. In order to be protected, tenants must provide written documentation of their application for rent assistance to their landlord.

• For rentals in Multnomah County: Landlords are prohibited from taking any action to terminate or evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent for 90 days following receipt of the written documentation.
• For rentals outside of Multnomah County: Landlords are prohibited from taking any action to terminate or evict a tenant for nonpayment of rent for 60 days following receipt of the written documentation.

Once a tenant’s application for rent assistance has been submitted and is complete, the relevant organization will automatically provide the tenant with a letter documenting that an application has been made. Tenants can use this cover letter to notify their landlord of their rights under SB 278 and Multnomah County Ordinance 1296 when providing their landlords with documentation of their application for rent assistance.
