Biden and the democrats failed to move on this, and we'll have no action during the 6 week recess. Unless this is being used as a political excuse for some sort of emergency session, or executive order.

However, I'm on the side of landlords in this. Many tenants are abusing the situation at the expense of their landlords. We live in a society that ostensibly respects property rights. Not only can they not evict nonpaying freeloaders, but tenants that aren't taking care of the property, or causing damage, or harassing neighbors are protected.

The people exploiting rent assistance and unemployment need to be kicked to the curb.

Some of the insane costs of rent and real estate is a direct result of people freeloading, and I've had to couch surf for 6 weeks and counting. I've had multiple opportunities lost because bad tenants couldn't be evicted. As one of the "homeless" I am glad the moratorium is ending. I look forward to the deals on foreclosures and damaged rental properties that will become available so I can find a place to live.

Maybe we should value human lives over property instead.
