KEY POINTS
The CDC will keep its national moratorium on evictions in effect through June 30.
The protection was slated to expire in just a few days.
The Centers for Disease Control has extended the national ban on evictions through the end of June.
The COVID-19 pandemic has presented a historic threat to the nations public health, CDC director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement. Keeping people in their homes and out of crowded or congregate settings like homeless shelters by preventing evictions is a key step in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19.
The eviction ban was scheduled to expire in two days, and advocates warned of a spike in evictions if it was not kept in effect.
Around 20% of adult renters said they didnt pay last months rent, according to a survey published in March by the Census Bureau. Closer to 33% of Black renters reported the same.

(23,152 posts)We need legislative action to provide funds to reimburse landlords. We need a method of negotiating with them to erase these debts.

(1,969 posts)Even worse, it is really skewing the housing market. I am not sure that advocates of this realize the amount of rental stock that will disappear once small time landlords start cashing in with sales to make up for a year of losses and forbearance. Some cities like Seattle may have almost no SFH rentals after 2021.
