AI Summary
This bill establishes the "COVID-19 Emergency Protect Our Small Businesses Act of 2021" to provide eviction and foreclosure protections for small businesses and commercial property owners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Part A of the bill prohibits the eviction of commercial tenants who submit a "hardship declaration" stating they have experienced financial hardship due to the pandemic, with some exceptions. It also requires landlords to provide tenants with the hardship declaration form and creates a rebuttable presumption of financial hardship for tenants who submit the form.
Part B of the bill provides similar protections for commercial mortgage foreclosures and tax lien sales, allowing property owners who submit a hardship declaration to receive a stay of foreclosure or tax lien sale proceedings. It also prohibits lenders from discriminating against or negatively reporting these property owners to credit agencies.
The bill's provisions are temporary, expiring on May 1, 2021, in order to provide relief to small businesses and commercial property owners during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
