Check if your business qualifies for the eviction moratorium

The temporary moratorium on evictions applies to commercial tenants, subtenants, and month-to-month or holdover tenants who:

• Are registered to do business in San Francisco
• Have gross receipts at or below $25 million
• Missed a rent payment from March 16, 2020 to September 30, 2021

Your landlord cannot evict you before giving you:

• A written notice 
• An opportunity to catch up on your payments

If you cannot pay your rent, you must provide documentation that the coronavirus outbreak has had a financial impact on your business.

You should continue to try to pay your rent. Work with your landlord on a payment plan. 

If you still cannot pay your rent after a month, you need to provide more proof that the outbreak is still affecting your business.

Your landlord cannot evict you for missing payments while you are working with them.

Note: September 30, 2023 is the repayment deadline for businesses with fewer than 10 employees

Continue working with your landlord every month. 

If you still have not paid all outstanding rent after the agreed-upon repayment period or after the moratorium expires, your landlord can then evict you for non-payment.
