The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has extended the existing eviction moratorium through July 31, 2021. (The previous moratorium was due to expire June 30, 2021.)
The eviction moratorium is intended to prevent the eviction of renters during the COVID-19 pandemic who are unable to make rental payments.
Per the CDC’s information release, this is intended to be the final extension of the moratorium.
