As the Federal Eviction Moratorium Expires, Millions of Americans Face Disaster

Photo: Justin Lane/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock At midnight on Friday, a federal moratorium on evictions will end. Similar bans by state and local governments have already passed or will soon expire. With tens of millions of Americans seeking jobless benefits, and the federal unemployment-insurance bonus set to expire, many American renters will soon be at risk of losing their homes.

That’s led to cases like Yolanda Jackson’s. She received an eviction notice in late June, with the manager of her apartment claiming the moratorium did not apply. But Jackson, who shared her story with the New York Times, received help from Legal Aid in Atlanta after the group’s lawyers found that the apartment manager was wrong.

What happens once the moratorium expires? Landlords will be able to file eviction notices but can’t push people out of their homes just yet. Renters will be given another 30 days until that happens. Renters could also be hit with a big bill. While the moratorium prevented evictions, it did not prevent the accumulation of rent payments.

Black and Latino renters are likely to be hit hardest once evictions ramp up. In a U.S. Census Bureau survey last month, half as many white renters said they were worried about making their next payment compared to Black and Latino renters.

I hope congress is ready to play nicely in the sand box when unemployment extension talks resume next week after their long recess. Lots of layed off American workers have been living on scraps while you suits were having fun in the Hamptons!

So there is a dis incentive to take a less paying job because then your household income drops dramatically from where it was.

Here’s a thought. Allow people on unemployment to draw unemployment while they work a job as long as the total income doesn’t exceed their previous. My problem is I can land a job that pays half my previous salary but it won’t pay the bills until I find a replacement equivalent

trump's fault.
