There are billions in rental assistance available which hasn’t been applied for. I believe it is the renter who has to apply for it, and why take the trouble to do so if they’re not going to get evicted no matter what? So turn it around. Let the property owners apply for the money. It’s really for them anyway and they will be willing to take the trouble to apply for it.
There has been more than enough time to apply and receive rental assistance at this point. Anyone facing eviction today most likely is not qualified for rental assistance because they have adequate income. These people are just living rent free because there is no consequence.
How about this. End the moratorium and let me have my say in court. The tenant can plead their case and show their evidence I can show mine.
