EVICTION MORATORIUM EXPIRATION TALKING POINTS Courtesy of the National Apartment Association
The National Apartment Association (NAA) has prepared
“eviction moratorium exit strategy” talking points ahead of the expiration of the CDC’s federal eviction moratorium. The end of the moratorium, and what the eviction landscape will look like in the coming weeks, is getting wide media attention throughout the country and we hope that these talking points will not only help ensure a cohesive industry voice, but also provide a starting point for potential media inquiries and interview requests. Please refer- ence these points as needed for your efforts – they can be used as written, or supplemented with state and/or local perspective to fit your needs. NAA has long held that the CDC overstepped their author- ity in issuing a sweeping federal eviction moratorium, something that courts across the country are now ruling too. NAA believes it is past time to sunset the CDC moratorium – the order should expire as scheduled on June 30. (This order was recently extended through July 31). This is essential to mitigate any additional dam-
age to both renters and their housing providers and is appropriate given the trajectory of both the COVID health crisis and the na- tion’s economic recovery. • Before COVID, the nation faced a housing affordability cri- sis due to low/aging housing stock and high demand.
• The pandemic has been destructive and detrimental for the industry: o In February 2021, rent payments were down from levels a year-ago in 45 of the 51 markets tracked by RealPage.
o The meter is still running on rent debt - estimates vary, but according to a conservative estimate by MBA renters owed $8B for Q1 2021, up from debt accrued in Q4 2020 – illustrating what the industry knows to be true.
o This is on top of an estimated 10.25 million renters who were behind on $57.3 billion in rent by January 2021, ac- cording to Urban Institute.
• Further, the impacts of short-term pandemic policies pose
