(NEXSTAR) – You can submit a claim in just a couple minutes for a piece of the massive $725 million Facebook settlement, but it will take much longer to get your payout.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:04:30 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) — San Marcos' eviction delay rule, which started in 2020, will end at the end of June, according to the city. The city's disaster declaration will end June 30 after a 4-2 city council vote Tuesday. An eviction delay ordinance will also end June 30 when the local state of disaster ends. RELATED: San Marcos approves new contract with police union The disaster declaration began in March 2020 at the onset of the pandemic. In April 2020, council members approved an ordinance requiring landlords to give tenants a 90-day notice before issuing a notice to vacate if delinquent rent payments were related to COVID-19 effects. The city said this gave tenants an opportunity to fix overdue rent, fees or other charges before eviction. The end of eviction delays will not impact notice requirements or other processes for renters at risk of eviction according to state law, the city said.

Colorado Democrats agreed renters needed help in 2023 — but couldn’t agree on how

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 05:04:30 GMT

As the final weekend of the 2023 legislative session began in early May, two major housing bills remained in limbo.The measures represented two different approaches to addressing the state’s intertwined housing affordability and availability crises. One, just-cause evictions, was the most significant in a suite of progressive bills that sought to protect renters and realign their relationship with landlords. The other, a sweeping land-use reform backed by Gov. Jared Polis, was a supply-side solution to build smarter, faster and more densely.Both had split the historically large Democratic majorities in the Capitol. Both had broad coalitions behind them. Both were hung up in the state Senate. And by session’s end at midnight on May 8, both were dead.The two bills were far from the only housing bills contemplated by Colorado lawmakers this year. But their late demise meant that a legislative session billed as the “year of housing” ended without the sort of tran...
