The Texas Verification of Compliance of the Cares Act and CDC Issued Federal Eviction Moratorium Order is a form that landlords must complete in order to comply with the federal eviction moratorium issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Cares Act, which was enacted in March 2020, extended the moratorium until December 31, 2020. Landlords are required to complete the Texas Verification of Compliance of the Cares Act and CDC Issued Federal Eviction Moratorium Order to provide proof that they are in compliance with the federal eviction moratorium. The form consists of three parts: the Notice to Tenant, the Certification of Compliance, and the Tenant Response. The Notice to Tenant informs the tenant of the moratorium, the requirements for the landlord to comply with the moratorium, and the consequences of non-compliance. The Certification of Compliance states that the landlord has verified the tenant's eligibility and has provided the tenant with the notice required by the moratorium. The Tenant Response allows the tenant to acknowledge receipt of the Notice to Tenant and confirm that they are in compliance with the moratorium. The Texas Verification of Compliance of the Cares Act and CDC Issued Federal Eviction Moratorium Order must be completed and signed by both the landlord and tenant, and then filed with the county clerk's office. Failure to comply with the order may result in fines, penalties, and other legal action.
