Evictions

The extension comes as the federal moratorium on evictions is set to expire on July 31.

La compañía Capstone Real Estate Services dice que necesita reparar varias unidades que fueron dañadas durante la tormenta de febrero. Pero los inquilinos dicen que muchos de esos problemas existían desde antes.

The apartment complex's management company says it needs to repair units damaged by February's storm, but tenants say some of the problems existed since before.

The financial safety net for the pandemic will vanish this summer, and there are two very different economic realities for Texans returning to “normal.”

The county has $10.7 million in federal funds to help pay rent for people affected financially by the pandemic, but as of this week, no rent payments have been made.

Tenant advocates can’t say how many renters in the Austin area have been affected by notices like these; some estimate dozens, others thousands.

Residential tenants who are five months or more behind on rent and have exhausted all rent assistance will be subject to eviction.

When it launched in February, the Texas Rent Relief program struggled to help tenants who'd fallen behind on rent due to the pandemic. In the first six weeks, just 250 Texans got help, out of the 72,000 people who applied.

Judges in Texas are being told it's not their job to enforce a CDC order aimed at stopping evictions. Housing groups fear that a wave of unnecessary evictions will leave thousands homeless.

The previous order was set to expire Thursday.
