Portals for renters to apply for funding from the federal government opened in March and funds are beginning to be distributed to renters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe extended moratorium and its enforcement are essential to help millions of families remain in their homes,\u201d says Diane Yentel, president of the National Low Income Housing Coalition. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2021\/03\/29\/982234755\/federal-eviction-moratorium-extended-just-two-days-before-expiration\">NPR<\/a> reports that Yentel also said the local and state areas need time to give out the funding that Congress approved to help renters.<\/p>\n<p>According to NPR, trade organizations for landlords have been against the ban, arguing that landlords need to be able to control the places that they own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough politically popular and well-intentioned, eviction moratoria push renters and their housing providers closer to the brink of financial ruin,\u201d said Bob Pinnegar, president and CEO of the National Apartment Association.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller landlords have reportedly been harder hit than larger corporations by the eviction moratorium.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/29\/covid-eviction-ban-forces-some-landlords-to-sell-properties.html\">CNBC<\/a> reports, \u201cMore than half the rental stock in the nation is owned by smaller landlords, and more than half of those landlords have tenants who have missed payments during the pandemic, according to a new survey from the [National Rental Home Council]. Of those, more than one-third said they have had to dip into personal savings or take out a loan to make payments for mortgages and maintenance on their properties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some in favor of the eviction ban argue that the CDC didn\u2019t do enough to help renters during the pandemic, and that the extension of the moratorium only provides the least amount of help possible. Landlords have reportedly been able to get around the moratoriums using different strategies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s disappointing that the administration didn\u2019t act on the clear evidence and need to also strengthen the order to address the flaws that undermine its public health purpose,\u201d Yentel said. \u201cThat will result in some continued harmful evictions during the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/coronavirus\/2019-ncov\/more\/pdf\/CDC-Eviction-Moratorium-03292021.pdf\">order<\/a> states, \u201cResearchers estimate that, in 2020, Federal, state, and local eviction moratoria led to over one million fewer evictions than the previous year.\u201d However, it adds that even though the eviction ban led \u201cto an estimated 50% decrease in eviction filings compared to the historical average, there have still been over 100,000 eviction filings since September, suggesting high demand and likelihood of mass evictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CDC also explains that evictions can lead to a higher likelihood that COVID-19 will spread, since many people who have been evicted \u201cmove into close quarters in shared housing or other congregate settings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/29\/cdc-will-extend-national-ban-on-evictions-ban-through-end-of-june-.html\">CNBC<\/a> reports, \u201cThe CDC\u2019s eviction ban applies to individuals who earn less than $99,000 a year and couples who make under $198,000. To qualify, renters also have to attest on a declaration to their landlord that they\u2019re unable to afford their rent and that being evicted could result in them doubling up with others or becoming homeless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, a federal judge in Ohio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/03\/11\/federal-judge-in-ohio-rules-cdc-exceeded-authority-with-eviction-ban.html\">ruled<\/a> that the CDC does not have the ability to ban owners of properties from evicting tenants. A few weeks prior to the ruling, a federal judge in Texas made a similar claim, stating that the CDC\u2019s ban on eviction was unconstitutional. The Department of Justice said that it would appeal the ruling and stated that the CDC ban would continue.<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
