Struggling Bay Area tenants are getting more protections from eviction and leniency on paying rent, as state and local lawmakers worry the coronavirus pandemic will overwhelm out-of-work and sick renters.

Layoffs and work slowdowns have left many tenants in a cash crunch, but Santa Clara, Alameda and San Mateo counties this week joined several Bay Area cities passing eviction moratoriums. The county measures add another layer of protection for renters facing medical bills for coronavirus treatment and loss of income and unemployment as the state mandates workers stay home.
