WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden made an urgent plea Thursday for Congress to extend a nationwide moratorium on evictions, arguing a Supreme Court ruling had left him unable to act on his own. The eviction freeze, which is set to expire on Saturday, was put in place last September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to protect Americans who have fallen behind on their rent during the coronavirus pandemic.

We’ve got an election coming up next year.
We need to start greasing the skids and getting the counterfeit ballot forms ready. And preparing the necessary mythologies to prevent detection.

Who pays the landlord's mortgage if no one is paying rent?

Agreed, OP. This extension explains the timing of current COVID hype.

The government should not have the right to interfere with lawful contracts. How many people are soaking up the stimulus and unemployment money and not using it to pay their rent? It is time for this craziness to end. Landlords are not charitable organizations. Someone has to pay for those rental properties.

What about legal and binding signed lease agreements? How about landlords taking a big hit in lost rents and falling behind on their obligations like mortgage payments, insurance, property taxes, utilities, maintenance, etc? The iron-fisted control of the economy's degrowth continues. The financial beatings will continue until morale improves.

All part of human infrastructure. Rent, don’t worry about it, they will make landlords illegal. College loans? Don’t worry they are all forgiven. No job or desire to work, no problem they will pay you to stay home. Personal responsibility - why bother? Biden’s (with Obama behind the curtain) America. All accomplished through election fraud enabled by big tech and the MSM, along with the deep state.

It is clearly un-Constitutional. A simple search finds the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause: “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.”

I am glad I got rid of my rental properties a couple of years ago.

"The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the national eviction moratorium mandated by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is unconstitutional. The court said in its ruling that the matter ultimately needed to be resolved by Congress."

It is patent to me: Force bankruptcies and foreclosures. Government takes over property, never to relinquish, unless to the Reid, Pelosi, Obama, and other "connected" corrupt-o-crats. I hope I am wrong, but I'll go $12 against the first dozen doughnuts.

#2--the honest folk who've paid in full all along pay even more now w/ ginormous rent hikes.
reportedly, some of these are foreign, off shore owners w/ vast holdings here.

I hope these tenants have good fire extinguishers on hand because they are not leaving landlords much option but to figure out how to get tenants evicted and property paid for in one easy swoop. Got to pay the bank somehow.

I've been expecting this, another justification for hyping the Delta variant. Hopefully Congress won't do it. Just another delay in getting our economy back on track.
