Eviction Bans

Topic

Eviction bans, also known as eviction moratoriums, are government-mandated temporary suspensions of a landlord's right to evict tenants from residential or commercial properties. These measures are typically enacted during public health crises, economic recessions, or natural disasters to prevent homelessness and ensure housing stability. A prominent example occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, when various federal, state, and local governments implemented freezes on tenant removals.
