Form Expiration 05/31/2021

DECLARATION UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY FOR
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION’S TEMPORARY
HALT IN EVICTIONS TO PREVENT FURTHER SPREAD OF COVID-19
This declaration is for tenants, lessees, or residents of residential properties who are covered by the CDC’s order
temporarily halting residential evictions (not including foreclosures on home mortgages) to prevent the further spread
of COVID-19. Under the CDC’s order you must provide a copy of this declaration to your landlord, owner of the residential
property where you live, or other person who has a right to have you evicted or removed from where you live. Each adult
listed on the lease, rental agreement, or housing contract should complete this declaration. Unless the CDC order is
extended, changed, or ended, the order prevents you from being evicted or removed from where you are living through
March 31, 2021. You are still required to pay rent and follow all the other terms of your lease and rules of the place
where you live. You may also still be evicted for reasons other than not paying rent or making a housing payment. This
declaration is sworn testimony, meaning that you can be prosecuted, go to jail, or pay a fine if you lie, mislead, or omit
important information.
I certify under penalty of perjury, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1746, that the foregoing are true and correct:

•
•

I have used best efforts to obtain all available government assistance for rent or housing;1

•

I am unable to pay my full rent or make a full housing payment due to substantial loss of household income, loss of compensable hours of work or wages, lay-offs, or extraordinary2 out-of-pocket medical expenses;

•

I am using best efforts to make timely partial payments that are as close to the full payment as the individual’s circumstances may permit, taking into account other nondiscretionary expenses;

•

If evicted I would likely become homeless, need to move into a homeless shelter, or need to move into a new residence
shared by other people who live in close quarters because I have no other available housing options.3

•

I understand that I must still pay rent or make a housing payment and comply with other obligations that I may have
under my tenancy, lease agreement, or similar contract. I further understand that fees, penalties, or interest for not paying
rent or making a housing payment on time as required by my tenancy, lease agreement, or similar contract may still be
charged or collected.

•

I further understand that at the end of this temporary halt on evictions on March 31, 2021, my housing provider may
require payment in full for all payments not made prior to and during the temporary halt and failure to pay may make me
subject to eviction pursuant to state and local laws.

I either expect to earn no more than $99,000 in annual income for Calendar Year 2020-2021(or no more than $198,000 if
filing a joint tax return), was not required to report any income in 2020 to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or received an
Economic Impact Payment (stimulus check) pursuant to Section 2201 of the CARES Act;

Even if you have provided a declaration to your landlord, the Order does not prevent your landlord from seeking a hearing if
authorized by State or local law and in accordance with State or local court procedure.
I understand that any false or misleading statements or omissions may result in criminal and civil actions for fines, penalties,
damages, or imprisonment.
