CUOMO, STATE LEGISLATURE TO EXTEND
EVICTION MORATORIUM UNTIL MAY 2021
BY MARK HALLUM
Governor Andrew Cuomo said he would be extending
the residential housing eviction moratorium
until May by executive order as well as through
an agreement with the state Legislature.
Making the announcement Monday, Cuomo
believes further closures of the economy will not
be necessary at this time, hoping to use testing as
an apparatus to reopening businesses and keeping
them open going into 2021.
“We’ve been working with lawmakers on a
piece of legislation that will also extend the eviction
moratorium. We want to make sure that homeowners
are protected, that it doesn’t affect their
credit rating. There’s no mortgage foreclosure,”
Cuomo said. “We want to get to May 1, we’ll see
what happens by May, but we want to protect tenants.
We want to make it simple. We don’t want
people evicted. We don’t want them to have to go to
court to fight the eviction.”
Cuomo placed a moratorium on housing evictions
early on in the COVID-19 pandemic in order
to prevent New Yorkers from having to overload
housing courts, as well as widespread homelessness,
as a number of industries were put on pause
in the interest of stopping the spread.
