Oakland's "Notice to Tenants Regarding Repayment Negotiations" Related to Unpaid Rent Due Under the Local Emergency

For Oakland Tenants:

On 10/11/2022, the City of Oakland published a set of legal rights related to "Repayment Negotiations" under the Eviction Moratorium Ordinance Regulations, Sec. 7.B. 

The "Notice to Tenants Regarding Repayment Negotiations" listed several City mandated rights as follows:

A property owner may not charge or collect late fees or interest on unpaid rent that became due during the Local Emergency. (NOTE: The Local Emergency was tied to the Oakland Eviction Moratorium which ended 7/15/2023.)

Tenants have a right to rescind the repayment agreement for up to 30 days after the Agreement is fully executed.

Third-party mediation services are available through the Rent Adjustment Program at no cost.
