Will Georgia evictions rise when moratorium ends?

Will Georgia evictions rise when moratorium ends? By Sudhin Thanawala ATLANTA - A federal freeze on most evictions enacted last year is scheduled to expire Saturday, after President Joe Biden’s administration extended the original date by a month. The moratorium, put in place by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in September, was the only tool keeping millions of tenants in their homes. Many of them lost jobs during the coronavirus pandemic and had fallen months behind on their rent. Landlords successfully challenged the order in court, arguing they also had bills to pay. They pointed out that tenants could access nearly $47 billion in federal money set aside to help pay rents and related expenses.

CDC Eviction Moratorium Extension Provides Protection, Though Limited, For Local Tenants

Many tenants around Atlanta can remain in their homes now that a nationwide eviction moratorium has been extended. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a new order just two days before the ban was set to expire. It is now expected to protect tenants who are behind on rent until the end of June. But in Fulton County, tenants can still face difficult decisions, said Viraj Parmar, who runs the Housing Court Assistance Center for the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation. The magistrate court is continuing to hear cases and scheduling evictions for as soon as the moratorium is over, Parmar said.
