The new federal eviction ban applies to Oahu because of high rates of community transmission of COVID-19, protecting qualified Oahu renters who are struggling because of the pandemic. However, renters must take action by:

• Filling out the CDC declaration form to see if they qualify. Download it at www.bit.ly/cdcdeclarationform
• Qualified renters must give the CDC declaration to their landlord or landlord’s representative.

Renters are urged to start planning now for when the eviction ban ends. To understand their rights, renters can contact:
