Governor provides update on evictions By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Gov. Beshear on Monday issued a new executive order to provide protections and clarity on the issues surrounding evictions during the coronavirus crisis. The Governor suspended evictions as the pandemic took hold. Gov. Beshear said the new executive order protects tenants and provides relief for eligible landlords. "As this battle has taken many months, we now face three major concerns: one, wanting to make sure that people aren't out on the street; two, wanting to make sure that these landlords aren't bankrupted or aren't being treated unfairly; and three, making sure that as people come out of this that they don't have so much debt from their housing situation that they can't ever dig out," the Governor said. "We want a fair system that tries to address all three of these." Under the new order, landlords must give tenants 30 days notice of an intent to evict for nonpayment of rent. During that time, the landlord and tenant must meet and confer on a possible agreement. In addition, no penalties, late fees or interest can be charged related to nonpayment of rent from March 6 through the end of the year. At the same time, Gov. Beshear said his administration is dedicating $15 million of federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act money to create a Healthy at Home Eviction Relief Fund. The fund will reimburse eligible landlords for missed rent payments and pay some advance rent to keep tenants in their homes. Kentuckians will be able to submit applications Sept. 9. More information about eligibility and how to apply will be forthcoming. "Kentuckians cannot be Healthy at Home without a home," said Gov. Beshear. "We want to help get people in a place where they're not only still in their homes, but they're not going to owe five or six months of rent when they come out of this." The Governor also pointed to other programs helping Kentuckians pay rent, including the Team Kentucky Fund, the Louisville/Jefferson County Eviction Prevention COVID-19 Relief Fund and the Kentucky Housing Corporation Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program, which is awaiting funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Kentuckians seeking legal assistance can contact the Kentucky COVID-19 Legal Helpline or call toll-free: 833-540-0342. The service is sponsored by Kentucky's Access to Justice Commission and the four Kentucky civil legal aid programs, AppalReD Legal Aid, Kentucky Legal Aid, Legal Aid of the Bluegrass and Legal Aid Society. Lawyers who want to volunteer to provide direct legal assistance to Kentuckians in need during the pandemic can visit Together Lawyers Can. This story was posted on 2020-08-24 16:22:24
