Eviction Moratoriums Extended: Is Your State On The List...

[Patricia Steiner]

And, just when we thought that the madness was coming to an end, many states extended the moratorium on evictions.  The American Apartment Owners Association has compiled a state-by-state list of the orders:

I looked; couldn't resist - and there are a few states that actually left a landlord/owners property rights in tact throughout the pandemic.  Kudos to those.

Hope this helps...Stay safe.

Ok, I had not actually seen or looked for the update past the June 10 date of the original executive order.  The article shared in the original post listed Va as a No to eviction moratorium extension. Almost all the other states, with the exception of a handful were a Yes. I think of Va as a relatively fair tenant landlord state (perhaps Landlord friendly If you had to pick one of the two), especially in comparison to the stories you hear about a number of other states (Oregon, Washington, Ca, Ny, etc). 

This eviction moratorium has me holding my breathe though. I dont need it now, but it removes a tool from the toolbox and leaves one uneasy as it seems to go to the heart of basic property ownership rights.
