Eviction and the Coronavirus pandemic edit

During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, mass job loss and unemployment led to fears of mass evictions as tenants became unable to pay rent. In response, the federal CARES Act included an eviction moratorium for federally-backed rental properties.[3] States and cities also passed a variety of temporary eviction moratoriums.[4] As these moratoriums expire over the course of 2020, there were fears of a massive wave of evictions; by mid-June 2020, over 40% of states offered renters no protections.[5]

Impacts of coronavirus on eviction edit

The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic has raised fears of a mass eviction crisis, with an analysis by the Aspen Institute, between 19-23 million, or 1 in 5 renters, are at risk for eviction by the end of September, 2020.[6]

The federal CARES Act provided for a 120 day moratorium on evictions for federally backed properties. Section 4024(b) provides for a 120 day moratorium (beginning on the day the Act was signed, March 27, and lasting til July 24)[7][8] on eviction filings for rental units in properties that participate in federal assistance programs, or have a federally backed mortgage or multifamily mortgage loan.[9] One estimate is that this eviction moratorium covers 28% of all rental units in the United States;[10] however, there are no enforcement mechanisms provided.[11]
