Two More Months of No Evictions in NYS

[Christopher Smith]

Governor Cuomo is extending the eviction moratorium until August 20. He's essentially giving renters permission to not pay for five months. How much do you want to bet that these people will simply not pay until August and then move out? How are low-income people supposed to pay five months' worth of rent all at once once when the moratorium is lifted? How much longer after that will we have to wait for the backlog of evictions to work its way through the tenant-friendly NYS court system? This is an unconstitutional taking of private property for public use. It makes me sick. For shame!
