Tenants should still pay rent if they are able to. While this order buys renters some time, a landlord will eventually be able to pursue an eviction judgment for nonpayment of rent or other breaches of the lease agreement.

[Austin Tenants Council @TenantsCouncil]

At this time, a landlord can still issue a Notice to Vacate. A notice to vacate is not an eviction, and tenants do not need to vacate after receiving this notice. Tenants have a right to remain in their homes until a Writ of Possession has been executed.
