 TITLE: How to Fight an Eviction CONTENT: Know Your Rights\n----------------\nEviction laws vary widely from state to state and even county to county, so as the national moratorium ends, it's important to know what other laws protect you. For instance, if you live in a multifamily property with a mortgage through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, you cannot be evicted until at least September 30, 2021. If you're an active-duty servicemember or live in federally funded housing, you may have additional rights.\nMany states, counties and cities have their own eviction moratoriums. You can find lists of state moratoriums online, but since the situation changes daily, the best place to get up-to-date information is your state, city or county government website.\nWhether or not there's a moratorium in place where you live, be sure you understand your rights as a tenant. Review your lease and any other written agreements with your landlord. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has a directory of tenant rights by state. END
