Evictions

There’s $1 billion in rental assistance available to struggling Texas tenants. But for many renters, getting the help they need depends on where they live.

The court's six conservative justices said the CDC exceeded its authority by issuing the two-month pause on evictions in much of the country.

After intense pressure from progressives, the CDC has announced a more limited eviction moratorium days after an earlier freeze on evictions expired.

Austin and Travis County on Friday extended eviction bans, which were set to expire Sunday. But they removed protections for tenants who are three months or more behind on rent.

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.
