Charities have called for the Government to ensure people cannot be evicted from their homes during the lockdown. Generation Rent said the eviction ban introduced in March ahead of the first lockdown last year should be reinstated to protect renters during the restrictions. The six-month ban, which expired in September, meant that landlords could not start legal proceedings to evict tenants.

Millions of Americans are at risk of being evicted from their homes in 2021. Research shows that evictions often result in a myriad of bad public health outcomes, including an increased spread of COVID-19.

Good news for struggling renters this week. The federal eviction moratorium’s deadline has been extended from Dec. 31, 2020, to January 31, 2021. The moratorium places a temporary halt on residential evictions but it’s important to note the agency order is merely postponing evictions. In Bay County, those evictions are looming in big numbers.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Act) went into effect on December 27, 2020. The Act extended the residential eviction ban put in place under the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) Agency Order titled Temporary Halt in Residential Evictions to Prevent the Further Spread of COVID-19 (Order). The Order went into effect on September 4, 2020. The Act extends the Order's residential eviction ban until January 31, 2021.

Evictions are set to lapse Dec. 31 unless President Donald Trump signs the stimulus bill that will extend the eviction ban until Jan. 31. So what's the holdup?

The long-awaited stimulus package agreed on by lawmakers over the weekend will provide some relief for desperate Americans. It also offers a temporary reprieve to millions of renters who could otherwise have faced evictions at the end of the year. The eviction moratorium has been extended until Jan. 31, 2021, and the compromise bill contains $25 billion in rental assistance.

“If policymakers don’t intervene, we are facing the very real possibility of tens of millions of people losing their homes this winter,” said an advocate.

Between 2.4 million and 5 million American households are at risk in January alone

Tammy Phelps had high hopes and big plans for 2020. She had planned to buy her own home and move out of the rental where she and her five children had been living since her divorce five years ago. She and her boyfriend were planning a wedding. But then the coronavirus upended it all.

Evictions in Arkansas can snowball from criminal charges to arrests to jail time because of a 119-year-old law that mostly impacts female, Black and low-income renters. Even prosecutors have called it unconstitutional.

Some 30 million to 40 million people from New York City to San Francisco face potential eviction once moratoriums expire, according to estimates.

Two years ago Jonelle, his father John and four siblings received the keys to their four-bedroom container apartment and it seems like a glimmer of hope in the quest to get Los Angeles County's estimated 66,000 homeless residents off the streets.

Landlords nationwide can start the eviction process while a federal moratorium remains in place, according to a government memo released Friday, and they’re not required to tell renters about the protections they’re entitled to.

Over 17 million Americans were behind on rent or mortgage payments at the end of September, according to the U.S. Census Bureau — and delinquencies could translate into lower voter turnout, according to a new study.

More must be done to help struggling renters on top of the Trump administration’s newest eviction moratorium until the end of the year, according to one housing expert.

The federal government might’ve blocked landlords from evicting scores of non-paying renters through the end of the year, but that hasn’t kept some property owners from trying to kick tenants out.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announces the issuance of an Order under Section 361 of the Public Health Service Act to temporarily halt residential evictions to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.

Over 20 million Americans could be evicted by the end of September due to the current economic crisis, with 30 to 40 million facing eviction by December. Somewhere in the middle, one of the most highly anticipated presidential elections in recent history will take place.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency is also improving online tools where tenants can see whether they’re eligible for protections

As 32 million Americans received unemployment benefits in late June, more renters were late on their July payments than any other time during the coronavirus pandemic. Boosted government aid has expired, meaning those numbers are likely to rise even further in coming months. Those missed rent payments could cause a wave of housing insecurity and have the potential for deep impacts not only for renters, but also for rental owners who owe common costs of property ownership and other workers in the industry.
