White House officials on Monday described a behind-the-scenes scramble over the weekend to locate any legal avenue for the administration to continue barring evictions.
The effort ultimately came up short, the officials said, leaving millions of renters in the lurch and exposing a rare divide with Democratic members of Congress.
"I don't think this means this President is going to give up," said Gene Sperling, the White House official responsible for managing coronavirus relief efforts, during an afternoon briefing. "I think he's going to keep looking, keep pushing."
Still, Sperling and other White House officials made clear that even after renewed examination, the President's authority to continue banning evictions was limited. Instead, the White House said it was working to prevent a major housing crisis by calling on states to accelerate rental assistance payments and pass their own laws banning evictions.
But a disconnect with Congress was still evident, as Democratic leaders continued to call on Biden to extend the moratorium even though his administration made clear he lacks the legal authority to do it.
The White House and congressional Democrats each sought to explain how a long-anticipated sunset of a nationwide eviction moratorium appeared to catch them by surprise last week, allowing the provision to expire and leaving millions of renters in the lurch.

Yeah,states give us another free year..Then when the landlords go bankrupt we can come live with you.....
“We will continue to look for ways for people to not pay their rents.”
“We do not care what happens to the property owners during this time.”
The revolution does not care about dumb stuff like laws.
The judges will just order the landlords to bleed cash until the banks and/or the cities/towns take their property.
I thought Nancy left for her 7 week vacation
Given that is one of the goals here, to take property and reduce the middle class, yup.
Scrambling and lurching to the bar maybe. Fuqun
Lurching,

Grand!
All of these people that have been living off the gubmint teet for the last year and a half have been getting paid the same as a $75K per year job before Taxes. If none of these morons saved anything for the day of reckoning they knew damn well would come, well, Should we Care?
Why are any property owning landlords expected to involuntarily subsidize non paying tenants?
I thought people who were unemployed by covid received extra payments in addition to the regular unemployment, and various periodic stimulus checks worth thousands of dollars. We hear of so many people who are making more on unemployment than they did by working. So how come all these people suddenly realize they didn’t pay any rent for a year or more, but now don’t have any of that money? I don’t get it.
Lol! Sure you get it. And that’s what’s so frickin’ maddening. We get it, and there’s not a thing we can do about it
grrrrrrrr
Property owners have to pay mortgages and taxes, etc.
If you are a small landlord, sell your property now and take the hit. Or go bankrupt if it is unsellable.
BlackRock, a Federal Reserve funded financial institution, is buying up all the houses
Maybe, just maybe we will see a real push this 7 weeks for evictions to explode giving the govt. and blackrock (all but govt owned) and see the all new democrat housing rental/section 8 programs just take off being in charge of who can rent what and where with a glut of govt owned properties. Never can tell.
All they’ve got to say is “Trump’s Fault”.
Maybe they can call obama’s 700 guest birthday bash on Martha’s Vineyard a summit on homelessness…
” Why are any property owning landlords expected to involuntarily subsidize non paying tenants? “
Two words:
Class-—Conflict.
Get used to those two words. That is the whole of human history and destiny to a Marxist. Everything; EVERYTHING is Class Conflict. They can take money from those who have it and appear to pass it to those who don’t, and take a dividend of POWER, POWER, POWER from every transaction.
I look at these people not paying their rent to people like my nephew, who is a landlord, saying, “Why would I pay you the rent? You can’t evict me! “, when they have more money now, with jacked up incentives to not work, than they’ve ever had, and my blood boils.
