Housing industry sees major ‘crisis’ if Trump eviction ban includes no rent aid

The Trump administration’s new nationwide ban on the eviction of tenants and Congress’ inaction on rental aid are putting the “stability of the entire rental housing sector in danger,” a coalition of a dozen housing industry groups warned on Thursday.

Facing a potential wave of evictions amid the worst economic shock since the Great Depression, the White House on TuesdayBut the policy includes no funding for rental assistance — leaving landlords in the lurch while merely delaying evictions for tenants who cannot come up with the funds to pay back rent when the moratorium expires.
