The pandemic changed the rules of the rental market. For the last year, it’s been far more difficult for landlords to evict tenants. Government intervention has saved countless people from losing their homes even as shutdowns cost them their jobs. At the same time, landlords say that they’ve been left powerless over their own properties, with some delaying mortgage payments and upkeep because their tenants aren’t paying. Now, the rules are about to change again. The federal pause on evictions could be struck down by the courts in the months ahead, or it may just expire. At the same time, the government has made billions of dollars available to help renters and homeowners, but the aid has often been slow to reach those who need it.
