Evictions on the rise months after federal moratorium ends
By Associated Press -December 29, 2021 10:00 AM
As pandemic-related assistance is rolled back, Americans across the country are experiencing a fresh wave of hardship.
Soon after losing his trucking job amid the pandemic, Freddie Davis got another blow: His landlord in Miami was almost doubling the rent on his Miami apartment.
Davis girded for what he feared would come next. In September he was evicted — just over a month after a federal eviction moratorium ended. He's now languishing in a hotel, aided by a nonprofit that helps homeless people.
The 51-year-old desperately wants to find a new apartment. But it's proving impossible on his $1,000-a-month disability check.
