CHICAGO (WREX) � The Illinois Supreme Court has extended the temporary stay on residential evictions through the beginning of October.
The extension runs through Oct. 3, which is the same day the governor's moratorium is set to expire.
The extension of the temporary stay through October 3 allows for more rental assistance to be distributed through the statewide Court-Based Rental Assistance Program (CBRAP) which was launched throughout Illinois on September 15.
Under the CBRAP, litigants may qualify for up to 12 months of past due rent and 3 months of future rent to prevent eviction and homelessness.
