Governor Tony Evers creates temporary ban on foreclosures and evictions

This morning Governor Tony Evers directed DHS Secretary-Designee to put a temporary halt on all evictions and foreclosures in the state. This order remains in effect for 60 days and prevents landlords from evicting tenants if they are unable to pay their rent. Likewise, mortgage companies may not start foreclosure procedures if the reason for the action is non-payment on the mortgage. The order is attached below and is Emergency Order #15 in the series of orders the Governor has issued in the COVID-19 outbreak.
