As COVID-19 creeps into more and more lives, New Jersey residents can at least know they won’t be evicted or foreclosed on during this time of the pandemic, according to action taken at the federal and state levels.

On Thursday, March 19, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed Executive Order No. 106, which “declares a moratorium on removing individuals from their homes pursuant to an eviction or foreclosure proceeding,” announced the governor’s office.
