Arizona Governor signs executive order halting evictions for small businesses, nonprofits
PHOENIX - Governor Doug Ducey issued an executive order on April 6 that halted evictions for small businesses and nonprofits that are not able to make rent payments due to financial hardship caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Under the order, evictions will be halted until May 31, 2020.
“Arizona is grateful to the many landlords who are already working as good partners with small businesses during these challenging times,” said Governor Ducey. “This order helps ensure no small business or nonprofit will face eviction due to COVID-19 and that landlords and small businesses work in partnership to make sure we get through this emergency together. There’s more work to do to ensure Arizona’s small businesses can make it through this public health emergency. As we continue to prioritize public health, we will continue to do everything in our power to support those in our small business and nonprofit communities serving us.”
