DURHAM, N.C. — A Chief District Court Judge has extended a rent eviction moratorium for Durham residents.

Those who live in Durham and have applied for rental eviction assistance have an extension of the moratorium through Aug. 31, 2021.

The statewide moratorium on evictions ended on Thursday, July 1. Chief District Justice Court Judge Patricia Evans extended the postponement for Durham. 

Applications to the Durham Emergency Rental Assistance Program are available online at DurhamERAP.dconc.gov.

Nationwide, state leaders set aside at least $2.6 billion from the CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund to prop up struggling renters, but a year later more than $425 million of that — or 16% — hadn’t made it into the pockets of tenants or their landlords.
