Even in normal times, attending housing court in America is an upsetting encounter with the justice system, as few renters can afford lawyers to challenge the removal orders sought by their landlord. Even more discouraging would be the sight of a judge pronouncing a family\’s removal by video conference during an epidemic.
Fortunately, many cities and states issued suspensions when it became clear that the epidemic would result in a lot of missed rent payments. The CARES Act, the enormous stimulus package passed by Congress, included a removal suspension for federally subsidised housing. Though it covered fewer than half of renters in the country, advocates cheered the measure before it expired. Congress has been unable to come up with a second stimulus bill, even though Democrats and Republicans agree that one is necessary, which prompted worries of a wave of removal filings. In some cities, removals quickly rose again after coming to a halt. The consequences looked bleak.
A solution has come from the Centres for Disease Control (CDC), which argued that removals accelerate the spread of the virus, and issued a sweeping suspension that applies to most renters nationwide. The public-health reason for the decision is straightforward. A team of epidemiologists has published a model estimating that even a low removal rate (0.25% of households per month) would increase cases by 1.5% by the end of the year. But a high removal rate (2% of households per month) would increase cases by 13%.
