Anaheim did not enact its own pandemic eviction moratorium; tenants were protected only by California's state COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act and federal CDC orders, all of which have since expired and been replaced by AB 1482 just-cause rules.
During the COVID-19 emergency, many California cities adopted local eviction moratoria layered on top of Governor Newsom's executive orders. Anaheim relied on the statewide COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act, including AB 3088, SB 91, and AB 832, and the federal CDC moratorium rather than passing a city ordinance. Statewide protections phased out by mid-2022, with limited rental-arrears repayment rules still allowing court action. Today no special pandemic-era moratorium remains in effect in Anaheim. Tenants instead rely on AB 1482 just-cause rules, Civil Code Section 1946.2, and standard unlawful detainer defenses. Historic protections may still bar evictions for verified COVID-era arrears in narrow cases.
Filing eviction actions for COVID-era arrears protected by the expired state framework can still be challenged under residual AB 832 and SB 91 provisions in narrow cases.
