1st Look at Evictions & Foreclosures in the Aftermath of COVID-19

There have been several significant developments in addressing evictions and foreclosures during the state of emergency, both on the Federal and state level, including two important pieces of legislation: the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ('CARES Act'), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and H4647 signed by the Governor of Massachusetts on April 20, 2020, which impose a partial moratorium on evictions and foreclosures for affected properties, as well as regulations adopted by state agencies and Standing Orders issued by the Housing Court. It is vital to understand the restrictions contained in these new laws and regulations with regard to actions that can and cannot be taken by property owners, landlords, and financial institutions-as well as the rights and responsibilities of both landlords and tenants, in addition to those of mortgagors and mortgagees, including subsidized and commercial leasing relationships.

Learn about the impact of these new statutes and regulations on residential and commercial tenancies, as well as on foreclosures, including the effect on the court process for evictions and foreclosures, both during and after the expiration of those laws and regulations.
