PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Tenants, who crowded housing courts amid concerns about a spike in evictions, got a reprieve Tuesday after the Biden administration announced an eviction ban that lapsed over the weekend would be extended 60 days in most of the country.
The move will protect areas where 90% of the U.S. population lives, making the drama that played out a day earlier in Rhode Island, Ohio, North Carolina and elsewhere in the country short-lived.
Among them was Gabe Imondi, a 74-year-old Rhode Island landlord who went to court Monday hoping to get his apartment back. He was tired of waiting for federal rental assistance and wondered aloud “what they’re doing with that money?”

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) â Gabe Imondi, a 74-year-old landlord from Rhode Island, had come to court hoping to get his apartment back. He was tired of waiting for federal rental assistance and wondered aloud âwhat theyâre doing with that money?â
Hours later, Luis Vertentes, in a different case, was told by a judge he had three weeks to clear out of his one-bedroom apartment in nearby East Providence. The 43-year-old landscaper said he was four months behind on rent after being hospitalized for a time.
âIâm going to be homeless, all because of this pandemic,â Vertentes said. âI feel helpless, like I canât do anything even though I work and I got a full-time job.â
