Gov. Kathy Hochul said that she’s requesting more federal aid from the Biden administration for New York’s since dried-up rental relief program, ahead of the likely expiration of the state’s eviction moratorium this coming weekend.
The eviction ban – in place since March 2020 – is expected to lapse on Saturday, Jan. 15.
“What we want to do is let people know that that is concluding very shortly. I’m having conversations with the legislature on what to do on this issue,” Hochul said during a press conference in Manhattan.
The moratorium was first signed as an executive order by ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo to help struggling tenants and landlords with COVID-related financial hardship.
It’s been extended multiple times, most recently by Hochul in September after a separate but similar federal moratorium expired in July.
Hochul said she’ll send a letter along with other governors, including California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, requesting additional aid to help clear a roughly $1 billion backlog sought by New York tenants and landlords.

Yeah businesses are only offering $18+ an hour and there’s more work available than ever but we got to break the landlords and keep these squatters in pot and beer.
Your baby, Hochul—rock it.
Socialist Government is all about begging for more money form Government, in effect how is the taxpayer revenue pie split. The problem is the pie doesn’t grow fast enough to keep up.
There’s no way I’d be a landlord in most blue states.
Any place where someone can break into your property and then get “rights” to remain is an insane place. The fact you must legally evict a criminal which can take months to years, not including moratoriums, is in contravention to any logical thought process.
Free rent for over a year now. Get a job.
'Hochul the Fool' needs to pound sand. Let these people pay for their own Socialism.
When the Biden bucks run out, New York will collapse.
Extra points for using “dried-up” and Hochul in the same sentence.
Plenty of jobs out there. No sympathy for squatters and moochers.
Why aren’t they paying my mortgage?
this libhole outlined a pretty ambitious (yet truly delusional) spending plan during her state-of-the-state address.
use that money before you go begging....
Biden’s shuffled along now... it’s his M.O.
Deal with it....
The Federal teat is dry, hon.
The vast majority of people not paying their rent-bills are in PUBLIC HOUSING.
Hochul is asking for a welfare/section 8 bail-out for the state.

owner still living in the house and paying the utilities which i thought was strange for a foreclosed house.
This is to prepare us for life-long “free” rent for certain privileged minorities, paid for by the king of non-minorities, Male Whitey.
Great decision. Nobody should ever have to pay rent ever again. Rent is racism!
If you bought the property, how long would it take to evict the parasite?
This fact has always stunned me. It’s insane & beyond my understanding of how YOU spend time & money to get someone out who is illegally in/on YOUR property. It truly boggles the mind.
