PROVIDENCE - Even before the historic $2 trillion stimulus package was announced by federal lawmakers Wednesday, many Rhode Island families and businesses who have had job losses and other financial impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic gained some protections relating to their homes or workplaces.
In Rhode Island, the closure of the state court system (for all but emergency reasons) has effectively put a stay on any actions to evict residential or commercial tenants, according to state officials.
Last week, Gov. Gina M. Raimondo announced that state courts would not process any residential or commercial evictions for the next 30 days.
