A provision of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that prevented landlords from evicting their tenants during the pandemic and accompanying recession is expiring on July 25.
The protections only covered tenants in properties that used federal assistance or were backed by federal loans. Coupled with a number of other rent protections implemented at state and local levels, the measure addressed some economic concerns for millions of Americans. According to the latest US Census Household Pulse Survey, 33% of renters have “no or slight confidence” in paying next month’s rent.
