Thousands of eviction actions filed despite Trump eviction moratorium

Landlords have filed thousands of eviction actions in the past few weeks despite the Trump administration's eviction moratorium in early September, according to a report released Monday.

From early September to Oct. 17, almost 10,000 eviction actions have been filed in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas by large corporate landlords, according to an NBC News report. The evictions database was collected by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, a nonprofit organization that looks at the influence of private equity on communities.

The eviction actions have occurred even though the Trump administration announcing the eviction moratorium on Sept. 1 using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quarantine authority.

"The decisions of large companies to advance evictions despite the moratorium quite literally threatens the health of residents and the broader public," Jim Baker, executive director of the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, told NBC News. He added that there are likely to be far more eviction actions than the 10,000 his organization found.

The CDC said in the September order that it would temporarily stop any renter from being evicted until the end of 2020 if the renter can affirm that he or she is unable to pay rent because he or she has been harmed by the coronavirus.

Renters who make no more than $99,000 a year, or $198,000 a couple, would qualify for the rent moratorium if they are likely to become homeless if evicted, the CDC order stated. The renter should also be making "best efforts" to obtain available government assistance for rent and do his or her best to make partial payments that the person's circumstance permits.

Nevertheless, during the week of Oct. 12, almost 2,000 eviction filings were recorded in the five states, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. This was almost double the number from the previous week.
