I really don't understand what people expect to happen. The moratorium doesn't mean tenants are living rent-free, it just means landlords can't evict. All the missed rent payments are still due. What do people think is going to happen on January 1st, 2021, when the moratorium ends and people have many months of back rent? That rent is immediately due in order to avoid eviction.
It just seems comically short sighted. The most idiotic temporary punt of 2020.
What's worse is that the moratorium doesn't prevent landlords from starting the eviction process ahead of time. They just can't kick people out until January.
