Eviction Moratorium

President Biden and the White House as of Monday morning didn't respond to a statement from White House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling on the executive branch to extend the federal eviction moratorium. "Action is needed, and it must come from the administration, that is why House leadership is calling on the administration to immediately extend the moratorium," Pelosi said Sunday morning hours after the moratorium ended.

The CDC early into the Coronavirus pandemic implemented an eviction moratorium that banned landlords from removing people who were behind on their rent. It finally came to an end on Saturday July 31st, after being extended multiple times.
The White House asked Congress to pass legislation continuing the ban on landlords evicting tenants who fail to pay their rent. The House and Senate didn't provide the votes needed so the eviction ban expired.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said on Friday that Democratic leadership could have extended the moratorium if it had the will to. "Everybody knew this was coming, we were sounding the alarm about this issue, the court order was not yesterday, the court order was not Monday, the court order was about a month ago."
Some states and cities are taking matters into their own hands. States like California and New York have extended their eviction moratoriums. States like Minnesota and Nevada have put laws in place that will keep renters protected from eviction while in the process of applying for emergency rental assistance.
About 7.4 million adult tenants reported they were behind in rent in the latest U.S. Census survey. About 3.6 million tenant households said they were "somewhat likely" or "very likely" to face eviction in the next few months.
