Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team on Sunday urged President Joe Biden to immediately renew and extend the eviction moratorium until Oct. 18 after House Democrats failed to marshal the votes to prevent its lapse this weekend.
Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) issued a joint statement Sunday night putting the ball back in the Biden administration’s court, after the White House on Thursday said it could not extend the eviction ban and urged Congress to do it.
“It is clear that the Senate is not able to [extend the ban], and any legislation in the House, therefore, will not be sufficient,” the senior Democrats said. “Action is needed, and it must come from the administration."....
The lapse of the moratorium this weekend meant millions of tenants around the country faced the risk of losing their homes. About 7.4 million adult tenants reported they were behind on rent in the latest U.S. Census Bureau survey, which was taken during the last week of June and the first week of July. About 3.6 million tenant households said they were “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to face eviction over the next two months

Black Rock and Chinese investors will swoop in and pick up those properties.
Why don’t they just make it illegal to charge people rent and completely collapse the rental market entirely?
The actual result of this is that individual families will no longer play much of a role in the rental market. They’ll sell their rental properties to large players who can ride out extended storms like this. Those large players will do the bare minimum for their renters as required by law. They will extend only the flexibility required by law. They will charge as much as the market will bear. They will have no compassion. They will do everything they can to maximize their profits regardless of how it impacts the people renting from them. And in any dispute between renter and landlord, the renter will face off against an army of attorneys in court who will absolutely bury them.
Anyone who doesn’t own property is about to become a second-class citizen with a whole lot worse experience with housing. Families operating rental properties do a TON for their renters. That’s all going away. Thanks to the Democrats.
They absolutely will. There is massive consolidation underway right now in the rental property market and renters are in for a VERY rude awakening when you can’t find a rental owned by a family anymore.
Black Rock will gladly operate as much like a slum lord as its lawyers can possibly sustain in court. And anyone who complains in court will be absolutely buried by an army of attorneys and then blacklisted from renting anywhere.
The banks and their Chinese creditors own Joe Xiden. The blm/antifa mobs own Nancy Pelosi. This is mostly kabuki theatre to entertain the masses.
Aha! You are a bloody kulak!
To be fair, that’s remarkable stability. In the last few years I rented, I saw my rent increase every single year, sometimes by up to $100/month. But if I looked around for another place to rent, it was going to cost $200/month or more above what I was paying, plus the cost of moving.
If you want some level of predictable long term cost stability in housing, you need to buy (recognizing that’s not always an option for various reasons).
“So why are there no lawyers at least pushing this up to the corrupt USSC on these grounds?”
They already did.
And lost.
Kavanaugh sided with the liberals. Though he did add a line in his opinion that the ban was set to expire on July 31st...and could not be extended without a congressional act.
With that vote, and opinion, Kavanaugh eviscerated the 4th and 5th Amendments.
I agree - but the building isn’t full and they never increased rates even as more and more apartments were built up around the town over the last few years.
I really think the only reason the rates went up was because of the eviction moratorium and they’re having to cover costs. (Also inflation)
I have been looking into housing but all the house prices have nearly doubled in my area as people look to escape the cities.
yup. and those of us that paid our rent/mortgage by any legal means we had will get stuck with the bill.
at what point when do we say “f this” and revolt or get in the wagon?
More importantly what do Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Cavanaugh think of the monsters they also helped create?
True, but the communist cabal already started long before they got there.
That’s good. Nancy’s husband Paul Pelosi, who owns a big SF real estate firm, probably got on her case.
Way back before people thought government should save them from all inconveniences and problems, if people could not afford the rent, they usually moved, often to a cheaper place. They also could take a second job, borrow money from family, move in with family or friends, or have someone move in with them to share the rent. Maybe you moved farther out of town or to a different town. People did not expect to live in a place if they couldn’t pay their rent.
Now there is a right to everything, including the right to live wherever you want to live.
Just wait. She will be POTUS pretty quick.
That should have been your post to the “What/When will the SHTF?” thread the other day.
It was my understanding that the case had to do with the CDC not having such authority. I did not hear that it was about the 4th Amendment. But I could be wrong.
Of course having the USSC saying that Congress could do it is just like trashing the 4th amendment.
“Of course having the USSC saying that Congress could do it is just like trashing the 4th amendment.”
And the 5th, under just compensation for government takings.
