ATLANTA — The eviction moratorium is extended once again - this time, through July 31. The ban was set to expire next week and officials worried this would come with a flood of evictions.
The Biden administration is now saying this is the "final month" it will extend the policy.
According to the U.S. Census, some seven million tenants are currently behind on their rent, so they're feeling some temporary relief. As for landlords, like Rick Vickers, however, it's a different story.
