Coronavirus eviction notices set to start again. What to do and how to plan
If you're one of the nearly 12 million US adults living in a household that didn't make rent this month, you might have to brace yourself for the "tsunami of evictions" that's approaching as state and national rent protections are set to expire in the coming days. Federal eviction protection ends July 25 and the federally enhanced unemployment benefit that adds an extra $600 a week expires days later.
The US Senate is beginning to discuss a second stimulus check, but right now there's no legislation set to replace or extend these and other relief measures.
Statewide eviction bans have mostly either already lapsed or will do soon, many with no replacement in sight. Michigan, for example, let its eviction moratorium lapse, as have several other states. A handful of states never canceled evictions to begin with.
Where does this all leave you? Is August rent still due on the first or can you still get an extension? Can your landlord evict you if your payment is late? What laws (if any) can help you keep your home as you weather the coronavirus recession? Will there be another stimulus check and rescue package that might help?
Here's where things stand now and what analysts are predicting might happen after Senate negotiations get underway. Note that this story will update frequently as the situation develops. It's intended to provide an overview, not to serve as financial advice.
