The Biden administration is extending a federal moratorium on evictions of tenants who've fallen behind on rent during the coronavirus pandemicWASHINGTON -- The Biden administration is extending a federal moratorium on evictions of tenants who have fallen behind on rent during the coronavirus pandemic. In February, President Joe Biden extended a ban on housing foreclosures to June 30 to help homeowners struggling during the pandemic. But Pollock and other housing advocates were disappointed that Biden merely extended the ban without addressing several issues that put many tenants at risk of eviction. “While the Biden administration is well aware of the shortcomings in the moratorium order that allow some evictions to proceed during the pandemic, the CDC director did not correct them,” Yentel said. So far, three judges have sided with the ban and three have ruled against, with all cases currently going through appeals.
