    You’re just saying that you sold more due to the covid boom right or am I misunderstanding you? Cause I’m not saying it didn’t cause housing price increases, I’m saying it caused inflation that will drop on it’s deflationary arse

    Please someone fill me in on the details... do renters have to pay all their back rent immediately when moratorium on evictions goes away [if they intend to stay] ??

    Every single Republican and a handful of Democrats (12?) stood againt the extention. Nancy should have put things in motion sooner, but other than that there is enough blame to go around.

    If there is back rent I’m sure they do

    “The moratorium was put in place in September 2020 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its end means that landlords will be able to force out tenants who have been unable to pay their rent during a time when the coronavirus pandemic led to industries being shut down and jobs being lost.

    As of last month, approximately 7 million households were not caught up on rent payments, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, which raised concerns about a surge in evictions that may occur when the policy is lifted.


    "August is going to be a rough month because a lot of people will be displaced from their homes," said Jeffrey Hearne, director of litigation at Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc. said, according to The Associated Press. "It will be at numbers we haven’t seen before. There are a lot of people who are protected by the ... moratorium."

    The Biden administration is counting on federally allocated money Congress designated for rental assistance to help, but only about $3 billion out of $25 billion had been disbursed through June. States like New York have hardly distributed anything.” End quote from article.

    Who are you to say what they need? They have costs to maintain and must do it with a profit. Not all renters got the money that was designed for them by the bill due to a slow state rollout.

    Makes a cynic (like myself) wonder if the states with the "slow rollouts" are slow rollin' for some political purpose....nothing is ever done or not without politics behind it.

    Not what I'm talking about here. The feds sent about every human being with a home address 4k over a few month and gave extra money to those unemployed almost double what they would normally have gotten. Why didn't those paying rent pay their damn rent. They certainly had the money since they were making way more than they were making when they were working.

    And yeah the people renting out properties are the ones getting screwed. A few of them likely deserve it but most don't.

    Thank you, it was very nice of you to post that helpful information :)

    This supposed covid pandemic has been used by the evil cultural marxists to empower government control over private property/businesses with a hard left turn towards marxist/soviet style property confiscation. First comes draconian government control... then comes overt confiscation of private property without compensation.

    What happened to the $45 billion in rent relief?

    Getting money into the hands of renters has been exceedingly complicated — the National Low Income Housing Coalition has found over 340 different programs attempting to administer the federal aid. Some programs require onerous documentation; others don’t make it easy for landlords to apply and most put the onus on tenants to provide extensive proof of need. And Ashbes is far from unique; many advocates Vox spoke with said tenants often don’t even know the aid is available to them. All of this underscores the difficulty of aiding those at highest risk of eviction.

    Why not put the blame where it belongs?

    No matter who is to blame the bottom line is this: millions of people are going to be evicted, men, women and children. Many with no place to go and in the middle of a resurging pandemic. With an eviction on their record, they will not qualify for a new place to rent for years to come. This is a massive human rights disaster and the US government decided it's best to ignore the problem and take a vacation. So what else is new?

    If there’s another lock down, and rent moratorium there should be some protection for property owners as well. I’m all for protecting renters from getting kicked out of their homes during a pandemic, but who’s protecting property owners from the banks?

    I don't know that it's fair to say the government ignored the problem given the massive $45B relief fund allocated for renters (and landlord) assistance. After the SC ruling to end the moratorium the Biden admin felt its hands were tied legally. But it is a huge humanitarian disaster, no doubt.

    The family who sleeps in tents under a bridge together, stays together! Just need a pit bull to guard 'camp' when away from 'home'!

    While the US government did not ignore the problem in the past, it did in fact ignore the current problem. It is an ongoing problem which did not go away. Saying its hands are tied is a copout. I guess promoting the general welfare only applies to billionaires and themselves.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday it will extend the federal eviction moratorium through October 3, 2021 after the ban lapsed over the weekend.

    The announcement comes after pressure from House Democrats including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo. The White House previously said Biden did not have the authority extend the ban, given a June Supreme Court ruling that said only Congress can enact a such a ban. Congressional Democrats did not appear to have enough votes to do so, and the House is currently in recess.

    Now, the CDC will instead issue a ban in counties “experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels” of in Covid-19, which will cover an estimated 90% of renters, according to Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

    Thanks for the info but I can't read the article since I don't subscribe to the NYT. The problem with the above if I take the headline at face value is first that evictions are proceeding so I don't know if a new moratorium will be timely. Second, what about the alleged places not "hard hit by the Delta variant" (whatever that means)? Those millions of people can go **** themselves? Why are they not protected from having their lives destroyed? And what happens if those "hard hit" places eventually spill out into the non "hard hit" places and become new "hard hit" places? The arbitrary limitation makes no sense.

    Why did they need rental assistance when there was extra unemployment? I know people working side jobs while on unemployment and receiving the extra unemployment bonus and the full stimulus money. They made more that way than working full time.

    I think making evictions illegal was not only unconstitutional but was also unnecessary and damaging. These people would have paid if the threat of eviction was there. They probably spent their rent on Doge Coin.
