Eviction and Mortgage Updates & Relief

Commercial Eviction

City of Burbank Commercial Eviction Order Update:
Eviction protections for nonpayment of rent have expired.  However, anti-harassment and retaliation protections continue during the protection period, as well as personal guarantee protections for certain commercial tenants under the Los Angeles (LA) County Order.  Please review the LA County order for more details.  As with the residential tenant projections, these commercial tenant protections may apply to certain Burbank commercial tenants.  However, that is to be determined by the courts.

Eligible commercial tenants that were protected from eviction via the City commercial eviction moratorium have six (6) months from the expiration of the City’s commercial order (September 30, 2021) to pay back due rent.  The period ended March 31, 2022.  For more information on the rent repayment period and commercial tenant resources, please visit the City’s COVID-19 website at https://www.burbankca.gov/business-resources
