Nevada governor to announce 45-day eviction moratorium extension at press conference tonight
Gov. Steve Sisolak will announce a 45-day extension to the state's residential eviction moratorium at a press conference beginning at 5 p.m. Monday. The press conference will also provide an update on Nevada’s COVID-19 response efforts.
The governor will announce a 45-day extension to the State’s residential eviction moratorium, which was set to expire Tuesday. The extension will allow for counties to pay out short-term rental assistance to landlords, provide the courts more time to implement the newly-created residential eviction mediation program and develop electronic filing options, and allow the State of Nevada to continue making progress on reducing the backlog of unemployment claims, according to a news release from the Governor's Office.
More details will be announced at tonight's press conference, which will be held at 5 p.m. inside the lobby of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building in Las Vegas. It can be viewed via local and state media outlets.
