The state of evictions across the state (and across the nation) are extremely confusing and constantly changing. One of our members, Linda Mossholder, worked up a brief and extremely helpful summary of the state of evictions in Newark. 

Updates on State of Evictions in Newark

• Licking County Municipal Court has resumed hearing eviction cases, but has a bit of a backlog. 
• Money is available to catch up on rent, but for most housing, landlords are not required to accept late rent, and can move forward with eviction.
• Federally subsidized housing and rental properties with federally insured mortgages are still under an eviction moratorium through the CARES Act, will continue until July 25 

CARES Moratorium

This is a good outline of the CARES moratorium. Subsidized properties can start eviction actions again on July 25. Click the PDF button below.
