In a statement released this morning, NMHC detailed its support of a short-term ban to evictions during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it does not believe a long-term ban on evictions is going to help sustain the economy. At the beginning of August, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had extended the eviction ban once again to end on Oct 3. On Thursday, Aug. 26, The Supreme Court voted 6-3 to end the pandemic-related federal eviction ban. The Supreme Court ruled that the CDC had overstepped its authority, and Congress must be the one to implement any future eviction ban.

The program, plus the rest of the $4 trillion of economic relief provided by the government, helped residents to pay their rent. About 80.2 percent of apartment renters made a full or partial rent payment by Aug. 6, according to NMHC’s latest Rent …
