Oregon lawmakers have passed a bill to give tenants who are struggling with financial hardships due to the pandemic more time to pay past-due rent.
Currently tenants have until July, but the legislation will extend the deadline to next Feb. 28. The bill already โปรโมชั่น slotxo passed the Senate and now goes to the governor.
The measure protects renters from the long-term impact of not making payments on time by barring such information from being reported to consumer credit agencies or being used in consideration of future rental applications. The measure also bars landlords from screening out applicants based on pandemic-era evictions.
In March, more than 17% of Oregon renters in a U.S. Census survey reported being behind on rent payments.
HERE’S WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING:
COLUMBIA, South Carolina – South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has issued an executive order allowing parents to opt their children out of wearing masks in public schools.
In his announcement Tuesday, the governor cited the widespread access to coronavirus vaccines for adults across the state.
McMaster’s statement says that “it goes against all logic to continue to force our children – especially our youngest children – to wear masks against their parents’ wishes.”
The order also bars state and local government agencies from requiring people to show proof of vaccination in order to receive government services or access public buildings and facilities.
The governor’s order also limits local governments from issuing mask ordinances based on his prior emergency declarations related to the pandemic. Those governments will have to find justification for such mask rules within their own ordinances.
