Eviction Moratorium
Still in Effect
National Association of REALTORS®
The Centers for Disease Control announced it is extending by an additional three months—through June 30—its nationwide eviction moratorium, a measure that has come under increased scrutiny recently. The moratorium prohibits housing providers from evicting tenants who are unable to pay their rent due to financial hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic.
CAR Capitol Connection:
Government Affairs Update
Colorado Association of REALTORS®
Today marks a big legislative win for the Colorado Association of REALTORS®. Colorado’s policymakers introduced a proposal that would allow inclusionary zoning practices and open the door to rent control at the local level. CAR successfully amended the bill to clarify that a local government cannot enact rent control policies on existing units. As REALTORS® know, our state struggles to find sufficient housing inventory to meet consumer’s growing needs.
