In the seventh proclamation issued by Salt Lake City, Mayor Erin Mendenhall deferred 2020 business license fees for landlords who don’t evict tenants because of financial hardship between Friday and three months after the city’s emergency proclamation ends.

Rent will also be forgiven for any not-for-profit tenants leasing property owned by Salt Lake City Corporation or the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City in May and June.

The new proclamation also allows parking of recreational vehicles on city streets "to provide a place to sleep for medical personnel, first responders, or other employees that may come into contact with COVID-19 as a result of their employment during the tenure of the emergency declaration,” it states.

“I hope that with additional actions in these areas we are able to help address some pressure points felt by our population as we all continue our efforts to flatten the curve,” Mendenhall said in a statement.
