Federal Eviction Moratorium Set to Expire as House Fails to Extend Before Adjourning for Recess

Absolutely horrific, as they vacation in their nice homes.

God forbid the legislators miss out on their 6 week vacation!!! No one should be on vacation when there is such important work to be done! Complete the work necessary to help these people! We need term limits!!!!

Here are your daily figures since January 20th at noontime to present 198 days. Cases 11,401,291 increase last two days 553,567 Deaths 351,940 increase last two days 77,179. Even with this new Delta variant Comrade dear leader Beijing Biden leaves the borders wide open with 1,328,000 illegal aliens that have been caught and released without quarantine or testing. This doesn’t count the one that never got caught.

Don't want a shot, don't want to go to work, don't want to pay the rent. That's OK. The tax payers will pay your bills.

I have a duplex. The bank still requires the mortgage payment. The government is not helping people like me

Hundreds of billions of dollars sitting on the sidelines while landlords await their recovery funds. Just more predictable corruption from Dimocrats. If the tenant doesn't pay then the landlord can't pay the Bank which is blocked from it's ability to exercise foreclosure rights on the landlord-borrower loan. Is this getting through to you? If not, consider that if history repeats then the federal regulators will in the near future declare that due to the level of non-performing assets on the Banks' balance sheet that such institutions will either need to produce more capital or face declaration of insolvency and forced merger with another institution. Usually to prop up both balance sheets but the net result is another government caused financial crisis. And who will the feds go to for subsidizing that bailout? The bank vault has already been opened by the feds and states like mine (Oregon) are sitting on the money that's supposed to go to the damaged property owner/landlords. Village idiots at the top. Be more thoughtful with your vote.

So now the Republican Supreme Court is making, instead of just interpreting, law. Obviously, they do not create anything that communicates a deadline and who must do what. There would have been plenty of time for the Democrat house to get some Republican support but like the Republican Senate, it is practically impossible for them to support any Democrat bill trying to help regular people. The Senate is part of Congress so why are they not doing what their beer drinking Supreme Court person said to do with the new law he created? The Senate is always one letter off their GOP title.... F NO! Evict the Republicans that cannot break party lines to help America. Isn’t the damage from the last Republican administration and what they continue to do obvious!! Even their Covid damage continues when Republicans should be proud enough that they made Biden fail at getting rid of Covid. What more do they want before they stop with their anti-mask and anti-vaccine lies. It is a no-brainer on how to get rid of Covid and get back to a free life. The Republican lies about vaccines and masks are taking away everyone’s freedom and sometimes life itself. Too many lives lost for no good reason, only bad reasons and bad politics.

Rather the Texas Three Stooges sleep on the sidewalks than mothers with their babies and young children. The GOP falsely claims to be pro life. They’re pro birth. Once they’re born they’re forgotten. Sleeping rough is okay because they should be happy they’re born so they can do it. With the evil of abortion they’d never have the opportunity to experience this. They should count themselves lucky. Not every child gets to experience this. #FtheGOP

I applaud New York City decision to require everybody to be vaccinated, that are in, any kind of gatherings or restaurant! It saves lives. No religious exemption, you could be a super spreader. If you have immune problem and a Dr note, you shouldn’t be out anyway! Unfortunately this is a public health problem, take your corona virus to the Supreme Court give it to them! Right now corona virus is mainly shrinking the Republican base! Unfortunately it is exposing children that are not vaccinated, could have long term problems and could die!

Their is still rental aid available. It should be depleted first. In a perfect world, there should be more aid appropriated and the aid should also allowed for transitioning to a new place for the evicted. Landlords should also be made whole. I think the Senate and House should extend with additional aid til the end of the year. It's actually cheaper to keep people housed. It's also counterproductive to have mass homelessness, especially during a pandemic.

Another Failed attempt to Assist us “mere mortals”. All the Govt would have to do is have the Landlord scan their lease doc along with the names and phone/emails of their tenants (to verify) and forward this info with the number of months rent unpaid. My understanding is the landlords would receive 75% of the monthly rent. Just ask us Humans how we would do it; Ez Pz.

The failure to extend this moratorium directly affects myself and my family. My landlord just informed me we have until the 30th to vacate... i've used up what little savings i had to keep a roof over myself and my grandbabies heads. Congrats on adding a toddler and an infant to the list of homeless people you despise soo much.

The fact that the House went on recess without dealing with this crisis in the midst of another covid surge just shows how out of touch with the poor and working people Pelosi and her backers are. GROSS!!

This is excellent news for landlords, who have literally had their property stolen from them by this insane rule. Tenants get taxpayer assistance and unemployment benefits. In many cases the landlord gets nothing! They still have to pay the mortgages, taxes, in some cases utilities, repairs, etc. and the tenants don't, in many cases, even bother to pay the rent! I'm pretty damn sure that was not the deal. If rent is not being paid, the landlords have every right to evict. We have millions of jobs available and few are bothering to fill the positions, so the excuse for not paying rent is null-and-void. The Federal Eviction Moratorium has become just a left-wing move to make housing a "right" at the expense of the owner. It's raw Socialism and it must not be allowed to continue.

They should have used the money the government gave them

The eviction moratorium needs to be extended. Amid the high COVID-19 infection rates and wildfires, Americans now have to worry about losing their homes while they’re still recovering from the economic crisis from last year. Thousands of people are going to be out on the street, and they the government to help them during these uncertain and frightening times. Housing is a human right!

Once again the unfortunate are left out without a seat at the table..there is no way something of this magnitude should have been left to expire.

#COVID_Evictions. [Revised] People seem to be floundering on this! Blame is being assigned with few facts known. Instead, the usual suspects are assumed to be guilty. While the Legislative and the Executive Branch aren't blameless neither is the one bearing direct responsibility. My current take is that citizens in each state need to take their state government to task ASAP. People need to get the money Congress sent for their landlords (not sure about mortgage payments). Given the chaos, people certainly need more time. The Conservative Justices on the Supreme Court really blew it and deserve much of the blame for the timing or rather lack thereof. So blame the judiciary for its being not just blind but deaf and very stupid and irresponsible in caving to the Real Estate Lobby by ending the moratorium before mandating that the states release the funds. How are unemployed and low wage earners and even middle class people supposed to come up with $15,000 or more in back rent? Congress did its job - distributing about 47 Billion to the states for those unable to pay. The states have only allocated about 5 Billion. So, where Did The Money Go? It appears the states are just sitting on it. Bureaucratic BS is slowing distribution to a trickle in some states. Nasty politics is possibly behind it in other states. It’s hard to figure it out. We need more reporting! "As Eviction Moratorium Expires, Millions at Risk of Losing Homes on Aid Delays" -Bloomberg Households have received a tiny fraction of federal funding "Only about 12% of the $47 billion has been distributed so far." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-22/-where-is-the-money-millions-risk-eviction-on-tardy-u-s-aid Highlight "The end of the moratorium will look different from state to state. Some states, such as New York and California, and cities have their own eviction bans in place. And different jurisdictions have different rules for filing eviction notices, so the pace will vary. “In Houston, for example, there are likely to be filings in court as early as Monday. Landlords in Boston, on the other hand, have to give tenants a 14-day notice, said Peter Hepburn, an assistant professor of sociology at Rutgers and research fellow at the Eviction Lab. "Additionally complicating the situation -- for both tenants and landlords -- is the slow dispersal of federal emergency rental assistance.

Allowing renters to not pay their rent is stealing from the landlords. The landlords have expenses like mortgages, insurance, taxes, upkeep, and so on that they cannot pay without a return in rent. The government needs to understand that these policies, while intended to help people, will ultimately drive housing out of existence and bankrupt property owners.

The Court should never have denied the Executive Branch the authority to impose an eviction moratorium based on the pandemic. The moratorium was appropriate during the first surge of the Covid pandemic and it makes no sense at all to lift it while the Delta variant of Covid rips through our communities. Rendering millions of families homeless in the midst of this pandemic will endanger lives. What makes it even more egregious is that millions of dollars have been authorized to help tenants and landlords deal with with overdue rental payments. The money has been given to the states to distribute to the people who need it. But only a small fraction of these funds have reached those in need. Whether this is the fault of the red tape involved in applying for and approving these funds or a failure of state governments to properly administer these programs, it is clearly not the fault of the renters and they should not be punished for the failures of their government. The moratorium should be sustained until the pandemic is under control and until the authorized funds are distributed. It appears that the President's hands are now tied unless they can come up with a different justification and therefore I believe Congress must step in to at least ensure that people are not evicted before they receive the funds Congress has already authorized.
