Federal/CDC Eviction Moratorium for Non-payment of Rent Extended to June 30, 2021

While there have been several legal challenges to the CDC Eviction Moratorium for non-payment of rent, the CDC has again extended the moratorium to June 30, 2021. As many are aware, the moratorium merely prohibits eviction for non-payment of rent and will require the full payment of rent becoming due and payable upon expiration of the moratorium. The $50 billion in federal rent relief money earmarked for renters in the recent federal stimulus, including $25 billion from the December stimulus and $27 billion in the most recent American Rescue Plan Act, cannot come fast enough to support tenants and take the burden off landlords/owners.
