How to get help if you’re facing eviction in the Dallas area – Renters facing eviction in North Texas who have lost their job due to the pandemic have certain protections that not everyone is aware of. A national eviction moratorium was implemented in September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which provides protection until December 21 if renters meet certain income requirements and provide signed declarations to their landlord. A city COVID-19 eviction ordinance also gives tenants more time to make arrangements to pay rent.
