Eviction Moratorium
The eviction moratorium created by the Cares Act also expires at the end of July. It protected renters who were in buildings that had mortgages secured by the federal government.
During the negotiations, Republicans offered to include an eviction moratorium that would last through December 15th.
The President signed an executive order, titled “Fighting the Spread of COVID-19 by Providing Assistance to Renters and Homeowners,” providing eviction protection through the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He also suggested there would be financial assistance to renters, homeowners, lenders, and landlords - but he didn’t clarify how.
