The Mayor’s Office is reaching out to Boston tenants at risk of eviction as the statewide eviction moratorium creeps closer to its Oct. 17 expiration.

Resources available from the city include legal support, financial assistance and communications outreach. In addition, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is expected to file on Monday an ordinance requiring property owners to include tenants’ rights information and resources available when issuing a notice to quit, which is the first step in the legal process of eviction.

“Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Boston has made it a priority to provide supports to residents, including housing assistance. Now more than ever, as we get closer to the end of the statewide eviction moratorium, it’s vital that we bolster our efforts to keep residents in their homes,” Walsh said in a statement.
