CDC extends eviction moratorium until June 30

[Tariq Hakeem]

The federal ban on evictions has been extended yet again, bringing relief to tens of millions of renters struggling to catch up.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its federal moratorium on eviction for non-payment of rent until June 30. 

It marks the third time the deadline for lifting the ban has been pushed back. The CDC's order first went into effect in September and initially was set to expire at the end of 2020. But then in December, the protection was extended until January 31. As one of his first acts in office, President Joe Biden called on the CDC to extend the ban until March 31.

But now, as that expiration date rapidly approaches, the CDC is once again extending the deadline.
