eviction moratoriums

Eviction moratoriums are temporary policies that prevent landlords from evicting tenants, usually during emergencies like economic crises or public health issues. These measures aim to protect vulnerable individuals and families from losing their homes when they face financial difficulties, such as job loss or health issues. Moratoriums can provide crucial relief by allowing tenants to stay in their homes while they seek assistance or recover financially. However, they do not erase rent obligations; tenants are still responsible for paying rent once the moratorium ends.
