Illinois Governor Pritzker’s 19 month moratorium on evictions expired this past weekend. Beginning today, October 4, 2021, evictions can be filed and processed as before the moratorium was put into place. A nightmare for landlords seems to be at an end. What will the playing field look like now that the ban on evictions has been lifted?
Eviction Moratorium
Governor goes back on his word and extends moratorium
Well, I for one never believed the moratorium would expire as promised at the end of August. Never. And, very quietly, after subtle signals at the Illinois State Fair, the Governor went ahead and extended. Why? Pick your reason. Delta variant (hmmmm…. there were less than 3000 cases yesterday and the pandemic seems to be more of an endemic and less of an emergency now that Illinois has been “restored”); emergency rental assistance money (why isn’t that making its way into the hands of landlords sooner? We’ve heard this excuse before); maybe it is to coincide with the likely improper but somehow in force Center for Disease Control eviction moratorium; or maybe “just because”… The reason really doesn’t matter. By way of executive order 2021-19, the moratorium is now extended to
Happy Birthday
What a year – So much damage done
It was one year ago tomorrow on March 20, 2021 that, buy executive order, Governor J.B. Pritzker changed the lives of Illinois housing providers by enacting a moratorium on residential evictions. Since then, like clockwork, the Governor has extended the prohibition 30 days at a time, this last time up until April 2, 2021. And while tenants’ rights
More details on the Governor’s Extension of the Eviction Moratorium
As reported earlier today, J.B. Pritzker again extended the eviction moratorium by another thirty days, this time with an extension to April 3, 2021. Note that April 3, 2021 is a Saturday, so the moratorium is really in place to Monday, April 5, 2021 (The Gov really is a tricky guy). The Governor today signed executive order 2021-05 which both extended the moratorium and also made one additional change to the procedures for evictions.
Eviction moratorium to extend into April
Continuing the trend of extending the executive order prohibiting most residential evictions for “just 30 more days”, CBS is reporting Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker will once again extend the Illinois eviction moratorium for one more month. Of course, we knew he would do this. Have a great weekend landlords.
Quick Update
As expected, over the weekend (2-5-2021) the Governor extended the eviction moratorium for another 30 days to March 6, 2021. This was a huge surprise said no one ever. It is worth noting that no changes were made to the eviction procedures from past orders.
CDC signals Biden-era extension of eviction moratorium
2021 continues to look bleak for landlords
In a media statement released yesterday by CDC Director Rochelle P. Walensky, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention eviction moratorium will again be extended – this time until “at least” March 31, 2021. Housing providers in Illinois should be concerned that this will be another application of “death by a thousand cuts” and the CDC will be back for an extension before all is said and done. Early indications from President Joe Biden have pointed to a federal ban on evictions until September 30, 2021.
