COLUMBUS (WCMH) The Centers for Disease Control’s eviction moratorium expired over the weekend and now some renters are working to keep a roof over their heads.
According to court documents, nearly 1,400 eviction cases were filed at the Franklin County Municipal Court between July 6 and July 31. More than 960 of those were filed in the last two weeks of the month.
“There were a good few landlords that had held back during the moratorium and tried to work things out, but now it’s getting to a point where they don’t have those sort of restrictions, so they can freely file evictions again and that’s what we’re seeing,” said Jyoshu Tsushima, the supervising attorney for the Tenant Advocacy Project.
