After the Biden administration spent days saying it could not re-impose an eviction moratorium without Congress taking action, it is poised to do just that.
The Hill reported the moratorium would let renters skip out on the payments for another 60 days and said it would cover about 90 percent of renters in the United States.
Not all landlords are Warren Buffet, and Biden's eviction moratorium is going to hurt small landlords and the housing market pic.
The Supreme Court had ruled that the previous eviction moratorium's authority expired July 31.
"He has asked the CDC to look at whether you could even do targeted eviction moratorium - that just went to the counties that have higher rates - and they have been unable to find the legal authority for even new, targeted eviction moratoriums."
"This brand new moratorium will provide time for the money allocated by Congress to flow, as it helps stop the spread of the virus which is worsening due to the delta variant and protects families and landlords. I am especially pleased about what this means to the children who have had uncertainty about their housing, their health and their education," she said.
Pelosi had been the target of criticism from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the moratorium lapsing.
