COVID-19 FAQ's
Frequently asked questions and information to help you safely and successfully complete the semester.
Q: How can I get out of my lease?
A: As of right now, landlords are not legally required to relinquish you from your lease. However, we suggest talking to your landlord and explaining why you need out of your lease and how it relates to COVID-19. We further suggest documenting all communication with your landlord. County Sheriffs have suspended serving eviction notices for the time being, so you cannot be evicted unless the process started prior to the suspension.
