The Age Well Center at Lake Elizabeth — formerly the Fremont Senior Center — offers (online and in person) classes, services, trainings and meals! * OUR BUILDING IS REOPENING FOR SOME SERVICES AND CLASSES ON TUESDAY JULY 6. WELCOME BACK! WE MISSED YOU!
Good News! Renters are currently protected by the State of California’s eviction moratorium, which has been extended through September 30, 2021. Even so, landlords and residents need to know that when the state’s moratorium ends, residential tenants in Alameda County, including Fremont, are protected by a County eviction moratorium which will likely extend past the September 30th date. On April 22, 2020, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors adopted as an urgency ordinance to regulate evictions, throughout the County during the COVID-19 public health emergency. The County’s ordinance prohibits all evictions anywhere in the County with few exceptions. Note, this ordinance is only effective once the State’s eviction moratorium ends and until 60 days after the local public health emergency is lifted by the County. Landlords are prohibited from evicting residential tenants for nonpayment of rent when the failure to pay rent is due to financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Landlords cannot charge late fees or take punitive action for failure to pay rent during the local public health emergency. Additionally, the City of Fremont’s Keep Fremont Housed program can provide assistance for unpaid rent and utilities dating back as far as March 13, 2020. If you need rent and utility assistance, please visit www.fremont.gov/keepfremonthoused or call 510.574.2028 today. If you have any questions about your rights as a tenant or landlord or your landlord is attempting to evict you, contact the Fremont Fair Housing and Rent Review Program at 510.574.2270 or email fremont@housing.org.
