Several progressive lawmakers wrote to leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer on Friday to plead with them to act with the 'highest levels of urgency' to combat evictions after the Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's moratorium.
The lawmakers asked the leaders to work to revive the national eviction moratorium after the Supreme Court ruled congressional action is needed.
'Millions of people who are currently at risk for eviction, housing insecurity, or face becoming unhoused desperately look to their elected representatives to implement legislation that will put their health and safety first and save lives,' the letter read.

Leftists are so accustomed to the courts enforcing their edicts they cannot believe they were slapped down. If Congress wants to enact a permanent eviction moratorium I suppose they could. But even amongst Dem lawmakers there is not enough support to continue the farce.

So landlords don’t need to collect rent because they don’t need income, right? Their property is valueless. And folks don’t need to pay rent even if they have the money or the ability to be employed. Great economic model.

There are so many jobs available that is causing shortages in the supermarkets, I feel like I'm shopping in the old soviet union with the empty shelfs.
Glad the adults and smart people are running the country again.

The moratorium was on landlords evicting residents, not on financial institutions repossessing properties with unpaid mortgages. To force property owners to bear the entire sacrifice, themselves, is fundamentally unjust. But that's not a huge surprise, as the "squad" don't have even one brain, collectively.

See how they don't care about courts unless the courts agree with them.

For once - - I agree with The Squids.
We should begin by stopping evictions in Afghanistan. That's where the landlords are really, really mean.

How many of these tenants - all of a sudden - will be able to come up with their rent?
The CDC's eviction moritorium applies to only residential evictions, which include, for example, tenants renting a room in a landlord's house. I would be displeased if under rental agreement someone in living in my spare bedroom, can pay the rent, but refuses to do so, and esssentially lives: "Too bad, Sucker! You can't evict me."
If a governent prevents a landlord from evicting a tenant who is not paying the agreed-upon rent, the government should be required to pay such lost rent. Otherwise its seems the government is taking the landlord's property without paying just compenstion. At least that used to be what is often referred to as "Hornbook Law." Meaning it's black and white "No Brainer law."
The "Takings Clause" of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution reads: “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” In Armstrong v. United States (1960), U.S., Supreme Court wrote: “The Fifth Amendment’s [Takings Clause] . . . was designed to bar Government from forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.”
It's NOT "fair and just" that only landlords OF RESIDENTIAL USE real property must bear the burder of lost rents!
In the residential use context it's quite similar (in principle) to the Third Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reads in relevant part (in the COVID-19 context) as follows: "No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, . . . ."
Although these non-paying tenants are not quartered soldiers, it seems by anology that no tenant should be able to occupy any landlord's residential use real property without the consent of the landowner.

OMG! Congress us actually being asked to take responsibility for something. Like DACA (which should have also needed to be approved by Congress but for some reason the SC let that one slip), the Congress hoped to escape responsibility for an unpopular decision.

The problem is the longer a moratorium on evictions remains in affect, the more a lot of the renters will rack up more debt to their landlords. The fact of the matter is most landlords do not want to evict their renters if they can get around it, as what are they going to do with a lot of empty apartments and houses with nobody to pay them rent?

Idiots. Every last one of them. The Supreme Court is the final arbiter of law in this country. Piglosi and Schumer can't do anything about it.

Glad some of the takers will at least pay something. Here in California gasoline is $5, so at least Democrat voters have to pay something, as the working class has to.

The Madame Nhu of the America haters is being hectored by the female dogs under the porch. They want her to break more laws. She only breaks the ones SHE suggests, not laws the wild pups want to ignore. Get back under the porch, shut up the yapping and wait for breakfast.

99.99% Of these people are SQUATERS that are taking advantage of landlords, that are in desperate need of more help than these SQUATERS do. They are not only loosing their homes, but their business because the DEMOCRAPS are buying votes.
