CORONAVIRUS/HOUSING/TRUMP ADMIN: “The Trump Administration announced Tuesday that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will use its authority to temporarily ban residential evictions for certain renters through the end of the year…
Renters seeking protection under the new program must certify that they are unable to pay their rent because of the coronavirus crisis, that they are likely to become homeless if they are forced to leave their homes, and that they undertook their best effort to obtain other government assistance to make their rental payments…
When the moratorium expires at the end of the year, renters who received protection will still need to make up missed payments to their landlords.”
