Will I get a break on my rent payments if I lose my job in Mississippi?

The moratorium on evictions in Mississippi expired on June 1, 2020, and there is no statewide rental assistance program in place.

The governor has ordered a moratorium on evictions in Mississippi but noted that tenants are still obligated to pay rent. If you are unable to do so, contact your landlord and attempt to reach an arrangement that is acceptable to both sides. A housing office in Sturgis or your county seat may also be able to point you toward some resources.
