Biden extended the CDC s eviction ban by three months, but some courts have ruled the ban illegal.
This puts renters at risk
of eviction before they get any of the nearly $50 billion in emergency aid
from Biden s stimulus.
Experts and lawmakers want to strengthen the ban so renters aren t evicted while it s in place.
President Joe Biden has been trying to help renters at risk of eviction, including with elements of his $1.9 trillion stimulus, but the American legal system may get in the way of that.
A year-long federal moratorium on evictions began under President Donald Trump, when he directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to oversee the ban during the pandemic. On his first day in office, Biden extended the ban by three months, and on March 29, two days before it was set to expire, he extended it by an additional three months, to June 30.

She s a landlord in the Houston area and says tenants in most of her buildings are struggling. I have a small property in town, she says. It s about 22 units and eight residents have not been able to pay over 6 months on and off. She says she might get a $100 partial payment on a $1,000 rent.
Graves says she isn t evicting any tenants who try to pay what they can and stay in touch with her. But that means she s losing money the rents coming in don t cover her mortgage payments and paying the staff.
