Poll: Do Utahns think there should be a moratorium on evictions during pandemic? Annie Knox © Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News Doug Henderson holds an eviction notice in his and his wife’s room at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel Temple Square in Salt Lake City on Friday, Jan. 15, 2021. The Hendersons were evicted from their apartment earlier in the week. SALT LAKE CITY Utahns are divided on whether they believe the state should halt evictions to protect more renters from losing their housing in the pandemic, but many think it’s a good idea. Just under half 47% believe the state should have a moratorium, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll. A smaller share of 24% oppose a moratorium, while slightly more 29% aren’t sure.
