Covide-era Eviction Ban Extension Possible

Landlords in the San Francisco Bay Area are pushing back against a proposal that would expand a COVID-era eviction ban as they struggle financially without rent payments.

Dean Preston, who is a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist that sits on the San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors, announced on Twitter this week he would propose an ordinance to extend the COVID-era eviction ban that is supposed to expire in the coming months.

“I am getting ready to introduce an extension of our eviction ban here in San Francisco,” he said. “I wanted you to be the first to know. We got to make sure that we are not going off an eviction cliff when the local state of emergency ends. That’s why we’re introducing this ordinance.” (Excerpt from Fox News.)
