The following information is being forwarded by the NJ Commission for the 
Blind and Visually Impaired as a courtesy, in accordance with our continued 
efforts to share information that may be of interest or of benefit to 
individuals who are blind, visually impaired and deafblind.

Question: If I don't pay my rent during a pandemic eviction moratorium, will 
I owe the rent when the coronavirus pandemic is over?

You would risk getting evicted if you do not pay. Even though there are 
suspensions of evictions during the COVID-19 outbreak, no federal 
legislation has been passed that would prevent renters from having to pay 
back owed rent.




Your best move right now is to contact your landlord as soon as possible and 
try to work out a payment plan or if you can pay something, ask if a partial 
payment would be acceptable. Also, review your lease and review what it 
states about missed rent payments.

Launched in 2005, the NJHRC website was created by the New Jersey Housing

Jerseyans to search for as well as list available affordable and accessible 
housing units throughout the state.


The HMFA, an affiliated agency of the New Jersey Department of Community 
Affairs (DCA), continues to fund and support NJHRC. To provide the most 
up-to-date web- and call center-based housing location services as well as 
disaster recovery efforts, HMFA has partnered with the non-profit 
organization Socialserve.com. Socialserve.com�s mission is to help people 
access affordable housing and supportive services by developing solutions 
that utilize leading-edge technology.

The NJHRC is updated daily to consolidate resources provided by the New 
Jersey Apartment Association, New Jersey Association of Realtors, and

rental and for-sale units in their desired areas.

No matter your specific housing needs, the NJHRC can help you.
