Biden called on local governments to prevent the eviction of rent arrears

On the evening of July 30 local time, when the federal tenant expulsion ban was about to expire, U.S. President Biden issued a statement calling on local governments to prevent the expulsion of rent arrears, urging local governments to use federal funds to fill the rent and avoid expulsion.

Biden said in a statement that every state and local government must provide federal funds to ensure that every expulsion can be avoided.

It is reported that the federal tenant expulsion ban will expire on July 31, and any further extension needs to be promulgated by Congress. The Biden administration publicly called on Congress to extend the statute of limitations of the ban yesterday (July 29), but on July 30 local time, the proposal to extend the federal tenant expulsion ban failed to pass because it failed to obtain sufficient votes.
