CDC Eviction Moratorium Extended to July 31st

[Joe Splitrock]

As expected the CDC extended the eviction moratorium a month to July 31st and I suspect they will extend it again in a month. The reason cited is basically that some state governments have been ineffective and distributing rent relief. This ignores the reality that many states were effective and in many cases the tenants hiding behind the moratorium don't qualify for assistance. So we have a weird situation. You don't need to prove hardship to not be evicted, but you do need to prove hardship to get assistance. The government won't lift the moratorium until everyone gets assistance, but many don't qualify. Call it a catch 22 or a $hit show, but it is landlords that are paying the price. Write your congressman an email today and let them know you are a voter.
