First of all, how many people are we talking about? An approximated 30 to 40 million Americans are at risk for eviction, according to an investigation of US Census Bureau data by the nonprofit Aspen Institute, making it likely “the most critical housing crisis” in US history.
More than 1.7 million Americans said it was “very likely” they would have to move from their current houses due to eviction, according to the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse survey. More than 1 million of those respondents are parents with children.
If people are evicted from their houses and required to stay with friends or family or in congested temporary shelters, the potential for COVID-19 to spread increases.
Housing experts and advocates said loopholes within the governing order must be directed to keep millions safely in their places in the middle of a deadly pandemic.
Why is that important?
Small landowners who aren’t getting in rent can’t pay their bills – including property taxes that fund schools, roads, and other public services. Giving them some relief is important, too.
That’s why Wegbreit says New York’s law “offers a balanced approach to the eviction crisis. It not only blocks evictions of tenants with financial hardship but also protects small landlords from foreclosure.”
Many companies are offering eviction services, here a qualified eviction crew will coordinate with local law enforcement to ensure evictions are carried out in compliance with state and local requirements.
The contractors follow all specific instructions based on state, county, and city jurisdictions in removing debris, storing personal property, and securing/re-keying the property.
