Protecting Renters and Homeowners During COVID-19

Important information for all Tenants, Homeowners and Consumers during the COVID-19 Pandemic from National Consumer Law Center
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused widespread disruption in the daily lives of millions of people worldwide, and the hardest hit are the vulnerable people, families, and communities at the core of NCLC’s mission, and likely at the heart of our everyday life.
NCLC’s (National Consumer Law Center) Boston and Washington, D.C. offices have been closed to lessen the spread of the virus, but our advocates continue to work remotely to advocate for policies that will protect consumers from exploitation and fraud, and to secure emergency relief for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship as a result of the pandemic. You can continue to contact our staff using their regular email addresses, and we are also monitoring the [email protected] account and forwarding all inquiries to the appropriate staff member.
NCLC has created a new “COVID-19 & Consumer Protections” page on our website to provide updates on our current efforts to protect renters and homeowners from eviction and utilities shutoffs; advocate for student loan borrowers whose ability to repay their loans may suffer due to lost income, insufficient paid leave, or lack of access to childcare; encourage financial institutions to offer loan modification and payment accommodations to their clients; and protect all consumers from the financial scams that arise in disaster situations. This page is being updated constantly with new resources for attorneys, advocates, and consumers. 
We are also offering free access to the digital edition of Surviving Debt: Expert Advice For Getting Out of Financial Trouble, NCLC’s most comprehensive guide to navigating debt for consumers and consumer advocates. All inquiries related to NCLC’s publications or Digital Library can be directed to [email protected].
Please stay safe and healthy during this difficult time.
