Eviction Maratorium – Government college Course
BACKGROUND
2020 – 2021 has been an especially hard year for many people. The onset of the Coronavirus and the resulting pandemic has yielded catastrophic results for many citizens across the country. One such hardship has has been in economic terms. Unemployment was at an all time high, though we are now rebounding. A direct result of such massive job loss is the inability to pay bills. Many Houstonians/Texans/Americans could not adequate do so – including rent.
As of July 28,2021 it has been reported that over 10 million households can not pay their rent and the US is in an eviction crisis. The Center fo Disease Control (CDC) has issued a series of Eviction Moratoria that puts a temporary halt on the eviction process, thereby allowing families to remain in their homes/dwellings even it they have been unable to pay their rent. Federally, this proces expired nationwide on July 31st. However there was a similar moratorium in Texas that expired on May 31st. Now the CDC has issued another limited targeted eviction moratorium that expires October 4th.
