The Beverly Hills City Council has voted to extend the moratorium on small commercial tenant evictions to Sept. 30, 2020. The unanimous vote, which amends Urgency Ordinance 20-02815, took place at the Aug. 4 Regular City Council Hearing. Under the amended ordinance, the rent recommencement date (when regular payment of rent should resume) is now Oct. 1, 2020. The Council extended the date for repayment of forborne rent to March 1, 2021.
The amendment brings the City in line with surrounding municipalities and is authorized by an order from Governor Gavin Newsom.
