When the COVID eviction ban lifts in Charlotte, it s going to be the big one Lauren Lindstrom, David Boraks, and Nate Morabito CHARLOTTE JOURNALISM COLLABORATIVE, The Charlotte Observer
Jul. 1 People who are behind on their rent because of the coronavirus pandemic got another reprieve last week: the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended its moratorium on evictions for one more month.
The CDC has said it will be the last extension. Several extensions have been made since the moratorium was first enacted in September.
The moratorium doesn t mean evictions have come to a standstill. A review of court records shows judges are continuing to order evictions for Mecklenburg County renters who failed to pay rent and for other reasons like lease violations.

Domestic abuse victims await family justice center
CHARLOTTE (AP) Audra Toussaint knows the Mecklenburg County Courthouse so well she could give tours. But she didn’t come to know the courthouse as a lawyer or a judge or even as a bailiff.
She came to know the courthouse as a survivor of domestic abuse.
In the past seven years, 52-year-old Toussaint has taught herself to navigate the ins and outs of the legal system to keep herself and her daughter safe from her abuser. She’s renewed a restraining order against her abuser multiple times, filed motions on her own and appeared before a magistrate at least 10 times. She’s even picked up on the temperament of some of the judges.
