Housing advocates say evictions are continuing at 'full steam,' despite a federal ban.

Even when renters aren’t evicted, the accumulating debt can be enough to drive them from their homes. Brown shared the story of a woman whose missed payments were stacking up. With no guarantee of a bailout, the tenant felt trapped. Brown helped her relocate to a property where her new landlord agreed to offer a reduced rental rate, and Brown helped pay some of the cost upfront.

describing the reason a tenant is unable to pay rent. Acceptable answers include a loss of income, a layoff, reduced work hours and large medical expenses. Tenants must also say that they’ve paid as much as they could. “I was distraught,” Jackson said. “I felt like I had did everything. I was willing to try to catch up on rent.”

In a statement, Joyce Grady, a representative for the apartment complex, which was recently renamed Gramercy East, said Jackson hadn’t paid rent in nine months and owed $8,215.92.Jackson disputes this, saying she had paid several of the months she owed from last year. That put her in a legal gray area. The CDC’s order doesn’t explicitly address whether landlords need to work with tenants on month-to-month leases who are having trouble paying.Many states have ordered their own eviction bans, providing additional protection on top of the federal order. Oklahoma is one of seven states that have not, and Hallett, the housing attorney, said “evictions have continued full steam” in Tulsa.

No ban is effective unless someone in authority has the balls to enforce it!

I truly am sorry for those losing their homes. I am also curious about the payments of mortgages of the mom and pop landlords. Are they being covered ?

vyra

Well in defense of some, not all landlords, this money your throwing around to everyone cause of the Chinese governments biological warfare, they should be paying rent I do believe. These landlords have to pay there taxes and mortgages do they not.

Housing advocates? How are you pro housing if your grift is seeking outcomes that harm it's suppliers. Marriage has divorce, in labor you fire or/resign. There has to be mechanisms for terminating relationships once they no longer work for both sides. Housing is no different.

Not stopping foreclosures either.

These people are taking advantage of the system, they are milking the system for anything free. Their typical welfare.

You gotta pay or you gotta go.

Saintsfan5348 Landlord are parasites.

We know the process so are you not allowing the economy to open back up its a shame your destroying the U.S. economy and want to allow people to live free after all if you can open the borders with no justification why not open businesses with the same zeal! This is such a scam.

The cdc doesn't make laws rules or anything of that nature. They make suggestions

You realize Landlords are people too and have bills to pay also? Your reporting is so biased it's pathetic.

If a state has ANY homeless population, NO ONE should be able to own non-owner-occupied residential properties and those that already own them should have to pay a large homeless tax. And every municipality in the USA should be required to have large areas of multi-family zoning.

Landlords aren't a charity nor are they responsible for the Government's destruction of the economy.

There are different laws going on between federal and local entities. My town us doing tax forecloses effective 5/1, when ban expires...

What relief is there for landlords who depend on rents being paid?

As a small landlord, my feeling is the government should paypast due rents. Why should I have to take a $20,000 hit that I can't afford?

If those 2 persons are facing eviction why aren’t they working Everyone is hiring!! Even remotely!

Landlords have to make money too! This is a goddamn capitalist society!

stop the fucking extensions !! pay up or get out! wtf property owners need support as well!!

Perhaps you should direct your distane at the root of this problem. President Trump and President Biden. Any other industry had its income taken away for 15 months while their expenses continue. Eviction is inevitable. Tennant's will not be able to catch up back rent.

The CDC is apparently now able to write laws.

If millions get evicted America is officially done . Yall wake up our country is crumbling

Imagine being a landlord that relies on rent to pay your bills

Let's say you have an apartment complex that has light & heat included in rent. For over a year you have been paying utilities, repairing appliances, maintaining the building because the government shouldered you with a socal program. What is the Landlord? SCREWED!

Love how they use this picture as another tool to feel sorry for black people.

The CDC doesn’t have that authority.

Then take their fucking property.

For those who haven’t been paying attention.

Landlords depend on that money too. Bet not any of these renters gave those landlords part of the stimulus money. Instead probably bought TVs

Wondering who the landlords will rent to at this point.

On March 26, a sheriff’s deputy walked up to a one-story brick home in a suburb of North Tulsa, Oklahoma, and told the woman inside it was time to leave. She called Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma in a panic.

Nope, they throwing families with kids on the streets anyway !! They Care about money over lives !!

Landlords in Ohio are commonly refusing to take rent money. It's bad here.

They can move in nice weather

You dont pay rent you get kicked out. Landlords don’t pay mortgage the bank takes their house. Why is this even a story?

In March, a sheriff's deputy walked up to a home in Oklahoma and told the woman inside to leave. The woman, with a family of 5 children, was financially supported by a non-profit that had already paid her landlord the $5,600 she owed. She was evicted anyway. (2/7)

How are late fees and interest handled?

Are landlords still required to pay their mortgage or do they face the potential of being foreclosed on if they are struggling too?

Two dead beats

They should be if you can't pay the rent then go! The bank sys if if I can't pay the mortgage I have to go! Dead beats

I feel bad for the landlords whom still have to pay their bills while they are forced to let lazy bums live rent free

do you have pictures of any white people or do you only have black people ?

HolySundayService A wise nation listens to the voice of GOD and repents.

The CDC extended a ban on evictions? Who's you?

Christian churches are extremely wealthy & could easily afford to pay the rent for poor people until covid is over,... but they choose not to.

Who is shocked

Well really most property owners are not under Federal Housing Loans say like HUD/VA Home Loans. Anyone that has loans privately with banks have that loophole. Evictions have been happening even since the beginning... that’s the honest truth... a failure on everyone even media

I didn't read the contract I signed is NO excuse for the landlord, but the Judge should be disbarred

Maybe, the government should stop giving people more money to stay home than working. If the government stopped saying don't worry about rent, we will not allow you to be evicted! Maybe, saying no more free money, get off your dead ass and go to work would be the better message!

All we hear about is how rent is so high because property owners assume all the risk. Welcome to the risk landlords. Sorry, you’re gonna have to eat this.

Is Uncle Sam paying the rent or is he bankrupting landlords?

Honestly, this is horrible. Given the laws, they shouldn't be granting evictions. Questioning whether or not it applies to month to month lease, give me a break!

Biden's shown more interest in handing off bags of money to his supporters with nothing for rental property owners so wtf are they supposed to do? People simply not paying even if they can because of moratorium and waiting for a government rent money bailout. Silliness

Housing advocates say evictions are continuing at 'full steam,' despite a federal banWith millions of renters staring down evictions during the global health crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday extended its nationwide ban on evictions until June 30. 'With millions of renters staring down evictions ...' I see Help Wanted signs....everywhere. President Biden needs to take full control of the housing market. He needs to create houses for $50,000 and make rents be between $200 and $500 monthly. Showing a photo of blacks in this piece points to a real issue. These people are notorious for not paying their bills. They're getting just what they want here: A reprieve from paying rent. It's black heaven on Earth.
