My research has confirmed that California Coronavirus eviction moratorium ordinances in the state of California differ by county and even by city within the same county.
Some cities and counties have imposed eviction moratoriums only on residential property and others on both commercial and residential. Sometimes, even when the moratorium covers both commercial and residential property, the type of property is handled differently.
In some places, the eviction moratorium imposes obligations on the tenant in order to receive the protection of the moratorium and in some places, the landlord is obligated to notify the tenant, in advance of the tenant's moratorium rights. It is confusing.
Compounding the confusion are separate court closures and orders not to issue summons in unlawful detainer matters or for the Sheriff not to do lockouts.
To top it all off, the orders and moratoriums are changing from week-to-week or even, day-to-day.
During this webinar, I will do the best I can to give you up to date eviction moratorium information in many of the California counties and cities and give practical advice on how to protect yourself, whether as a landlord, tenant or property manager.

Also note that during the webinar I was asked a question that I did not entirely answer accurately. The most correct answer to the question is that California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1951.4 requires reference to and suggests certain language of the code section to be included in the lease in order to sue for rents as the accrue.
