Reconstructed from attached documents & the official record
This ordinance prevents landlords from evicting tenants for unpaid rent from October 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, if the tenant has paid at least 25% of what they owe due to COVID-19, and it also stops landlords from charging late fees for that rent. It will only be effective if state law changes to allow it.
