For All Arlington Residents:

Current Notice on Eviction Ban

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), issued an order that may protect you from being evicted or removed from where you are living. This means that you may be able to stay at the place where you live through June 30, 2021, if you qualify. You would need to sign the declaration form and provide to your landlord.
