Except by the order of a court, a landlord may not, during a covered period— evict a Federal worker from premises that are occupied or intended to be occupied primarily as a residence; or subject premises described in paragraph
(1)to a distress. Upon an application for eviction or distress with respect to premises described in subsection (a)(1), a court may, upon motion of the court, and shall, if a request is made by or on behalf of a Federal worker, the ability of whom to pay the rent that is the subject of the action is materially affected by a shutdown— stay the proceedings for a period of 30 days after the covered period, unless, in the opinion of the court, justice and equity require a longer or shorter period of time; or adjust the obligation under the lease to preserve the interests of all parties. If a court grants a stay under paragraph (1), the court may grant to the landlord (or other person with paramount title) such relief as equity may require.
