Editorial: Congress and Biden failed tenants by letting the eviction moratorium expire (via latimesopinion)

The expiration of the federal eviction moratorium over the weekend is a devastating example of governmental failure.

Yet despite the good intentions, it’s taken longer than expected to get relief into the hands of tenants and landlords. Just— had reached people in need by the end of June, according to the Treasury Department. Because of those delays, some states have chosen to give tenants more time to receive rent relief before resuming evictions. In California, Gov. Gavin Newsom and lawmakers extended the eviction moratorium through Sept. 30. Other states, including Oregon and Nevada, have temporarily barred evictions from moving forward against tenants who have applied for aid.
