Original title: Biden calls on local governments to stop eviction of unpaid rent tenants Source: CCTV News client
On the evening of July 30, local time, as the ban on eviction of federal tenants was about to expire, President Joe Biden issued a statement calling on local governments to stop evictions of tenants who did not pay their rents, and urged them to use federal funds to cover rents and avoid evictions.
Biden said in a statement that every state and local government must provide federal funds to ensure that every eviction can be avoided.
It is reported that the federal tenant eviction ban will expire on July 31, and any further extension will need to be promulgated by Congress. The Biden administration publicly called on Congress to extend the ban yesterday (July 29), but a proposal to extend the ban on evictions of federal tenants failed to pass on July 30 local time.
