The order only applies to evictions based on the nonpayment of rent, and is set to expire on Oct. 3.
The Biden administration is issuing a new eviction moratorium in the wake of criticism from liberal lawmakers after a previous ban on evictions was allowed to expire over the weekend.
“This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads,” Walensky added. “It is imperative that public health authorities act quickly to mitigate such an increase of evictions, which could increase the likelihood of new spikes in SARS-CoV-2 transmission. Such mass evictions and the attendant public health consequences would be very difficult to reverse.
The new order will expire on Oct. 3. Reports from the New York Times and the Washington Post that cited unnamed sources within the Biden administration suggested the new moratorium should protect 90% of renters nationwide. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. “The political pressure became untenable for the White House,” said Ben Koltun, director of research at Beacon Policy Advisors, a policy research firm based in Washington, D.C. Koltun added that the administration “didn’t have enough defenders among House Democrats.”
