INDIANAPOLIS — The City of Indianapolis recently announced the launch of a new online tool that will help tenants document their eligibility for protection under the nationwide eviction moratorium that was announced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on September 1. The tool, which was created using funding provided by OPHS, allows tenants who are eligible for the eviction moratorium to generate an affidavit, which is fully compliant with the federal regulations, that can be e-mailed to their landlord and used in court. Additional features of the portal to be introduced soon will enable printing and mailing of the affidavit as well; a Spanish language version of the tool is also forthcoming. It is important to note that the moratorium, which is effective now through December 31, 2020, does not forgive the rent a tenant owes, and it does not prevent tenants from being evicted for reasons other than non-payment of rent. NCLC’s online resource, as well as more information about who qualifies for the moratorium, can be found at IndyRenterHelp.org.
