New York Approves Eviction Moratorium Until May

Content Curator
The New York Legislature approved a moratorium on evictions until May 1 as many New Yorkers, who lost their jobs to the pandemic, struggle to pay rent. Protestors urged lawmakers to ban evictions for several months.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the law late Monday allowing for a ban on residential evictions for tenants who endured a "COVID-related hardship."
