AUSTIN (KXAN) — City Council plans to expand protections against eviction, creating a 60-day grace period before eviction due to nonpayment, according to a Monday news release from several Austin City Council members.
The 60-day period begins after rent is officially due, and the ordinance applies only during the ongoing local disaster. Council will vote on the ordinance on March 26, giving temporary relief to people paying rent April 1 and May 1, according to the statement released by council members Greg Casar, Delia Garza, Kathie Tovo and Mayor Steve Adler
