Tenant Protection GuidelinesTenants in California have protections from eviction under state and federal law, as well as under local laws in some cities and counties. This page describes protections under the new tenant relief laws. These laws protect tenants with a COVID-19-related financial impact from eviction for nonpayment of rent if the tenant provides the landlord with a signed declaration for financial distress. They also protect tenants from "no cause" evictions, meaning an eviction where the landlord does not state a reason. However, depending on your specific circumstances and where you live, you may have other protections from eviction that apply to you. If you receive an eviction notice from your landlord, you should speak with a lawyer as quickly as possible to find out what rules apply to your specific situation. The laws also provide financial assistance to qualifying tenants who are financially distressed and unable to pay some or all of their rent.

In California, starting March 1, masks will no longer be required for unvaccinated individuals, but will be strongly recommended for all individuals in most indoor settings. After March 11, in schools and child care facilities, masks will not be required but will be strongly recommended. Masks will still be required for everyone in high transmission settings like public transit, emergency shelters, health care settings, correctional facilities, homeless shelters and long-term care facilities. As always, local jurisdictions may have additional requirements beyond the state guidance.
Most Children and All Teens Can Get COVID-19 Vaccines. CDC recommends everyone ages 5 and older get a COVID-19 vaccine to help protect against COVID-19.
