Kansas Appleseed Summary on Executive Order NO. 20-10
Summary of their Guidance
In short, the key word for renters and mortgagers is 'certain':
- Tenants or homeowners cannot be evicted or foreclosed on if the reason for their financial hardship is caused by COVID-19.
- Evictions and foreclosures not related to financial hardships resulting from the pandemic can still happen.
- Tenants and homeowners are still responsible for rent and mortgage payments.
- After the order expires, renters can still be evicted and homeowners foreclosed on.
Read the full Executive Order NO. 20-10.
