If a tenant receives federal subsidies, then it also applies. There's no clear way to totally determine whether or not a property/tenant is subject to the CARES Act. In court the other day, I watched an unlawful detainer hearing where the plaintiff was sure the property was not subject to CARES/<i>Pinzon, </i>but the defense attorney used some website that claimed it was (though the website specifically stated it was not guaranteeing accuracy) and the Commissioner said the only person "with knowledge" to provide a declaration was a qualified title officer as part of a title review. So, if a landlord wishes to move forward, then the landlord likely has to line up a title officer to do a search and provide a declaration one way or the other. AND don't forget that evictions take 4-6 months (at least they do in King County), SO there's no guarantee that the loan, even if not federally backed, is not sold during that time period to Fannie or Freddie. So, in that circumstance the landlord would have to start all over at the beginning if that were to happen at any point before the Sheriff executed the writ. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Might as well bypass the whole thing and just move to all 30 day notices while this mess gets worked out by the Supreme Court. <i>Pinzon </i>is a mess. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Food for thought - the unlawful detainer statute was created for a quick and efficient way to resolve the issue of possession.
