On March 27, Governor Newsom issued an Executive Order to establish a Statewide moratorium on evictions. The Order prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for nonpayment of rent and prohibits enforcement of evictions by law enforcement or courts. It also requires tenants to declare in writing, no more than seven days after the rent comes due, that the tenant cannot pay all or part of their rent due to COVID-19. The order is effective through May 31, 2020.
The tenant would be required to retain documentation but not required to submit it to the landlord in advance. And the tenant would remain obligated to repay full rent in a timely manner and could still face eviction after the enforcement moratorium is lifted. The order takes effect immediately, and provides immediate relief to tenants for whom rent is due on April 1st. Nothing in this Order prevents a tenant who is able to pay all or some of the rent from doing so in a timely manner.
This action builds on Governor Newsom’s previous executive order from March 16 that authored local governments to halt evictions for renters impacted by the pandemic.
Together these orders limit action on evictions that would only apply to those households or businesses that have experienced a substantial decrease in income including, but not limited to: job loss, a reduction in work hours, out-of-pocket medical expenses, a major reduction in business income through closure or reduced hours, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic or actions of the government in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Order allows each local jurisdiction to add requirements to fit their particular community needs. Prior to the Order Oakley City staff and the Mayor and Council members were considering a similar ordinance to achieve these results. At our April 14 council meeting the Oakley City Council will evaluate the Order and then create our own or enforce the Governor’s Order.

Please note: garage sales are not permitted until at least May 4.
As the weather warms up and people do Spring cleaning, it might be your instinct to plan a garage sale. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 Virus and social distancing regulations, garage sales are not allowed at this time in the City of Oakley.
Thank you all for your cooperation during this uncertain time- we are all working together to get though this!
