Just days after the federal eviction moratorium ended, the Biden administration announced a new halt of evictions set to last until October 3. However, doubts concerning the legality of Tuesday’s extension had Americans question if the administration held the authority to extend the eviction ban, with landlords up in arms over the continued debts they have accumulated.
Earlier this week, the Biden administration said a Supreme Court ruling stood in the way of a moratorium. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki disregarded concerns that Joe Biden was not following the rule of law in that decision during a press conference on Wednesday.
“I’m not sure there are Americans evaluating it to that degree,” she expressed. “…He’s gonna do everything in his power to make sure they can stay in their homes as long as possible.”
