Can I Get a Hardship Exemption to an Eviction in California?
Full Question:
Answer:
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 , there are tenant protections for units acquired with Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP). There are no general hardship exemptions from eviction. A servicemember may be entitled to a stay (delay)of an eviction action for 90 days. This rule applies to the servicemember and his or her dependents (such as a spouse or child) in a residential rental unit with rent of $2,400 per month or less. The servicemember's ability to pay rent must be materially affected by military service. The judge may order the stay on his or her own motion or upon request by the servicemember or a representative. The judge can adjust the length and terms of the delay as equity (fairness) requires.
