Housing Advocates Protest As Eviction Moratorium Ends In New York

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JANUARY 14: People holding a banner sign that reads “Housing Is A Human Right” during a rally about the New York State eviction moratorium law, which is set to expire on January 14, 2022 in New York City. Participants rallied at the New York Public Library and marched to the governor’s Manhattan office to demand that New York Governor Kathy Hochul extend the pandemic moratorium and protect tenants from eviction and possible homelessness in the middle of winter. Eviction protection is set to expire on January 15, 2022, and housing advocates and progressive lawmakers are pushing for the “Good Cause” Eviction Bill, which would allow evictions only under certain reasons and prevent the removal of any tenant without an order from a housing court judge.
