A national eviction moratorium that is underway through the end of the year has apartment housing groups fighting back with lobbying efforts and media placements.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued the eviction moratorium order at the beginning of September.
“The industry is fully mobilized to call Congress to enact rental assistance, arguing that an eviction moratorium without rental assistance is reckless and puts both renters and housing providers in serious financial risk and causes a serious housing crisis,” says Kim Duty, National Multifamily Housing Council (NMHC) senior vice president of public affairs and industry initiatives.
