Lesson Learning Objective:
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the history of the multifamily rental moratorium.
Terms to Know:
- Moratorium: A temporary halt of an activity
- Example: A moratorium was ordered by the city in order to halt evictions during covid-19 for those who could not pay their rent.
- Eviction: An eviction is the dispossession of a tenant of leased property by force or especially by legal process.
- Example: Linda had not paid rent in 3 months. Her landlord started legal proceedings for eviction after the second month of rental nonpayment. Linda was eventually served with a court ordered eviction notice. She ignored the notice, which resulted in the county Sheriff enforcing the eviction order from the court.
