Case in point: Princeton University’s Eviction Lab tracks landlords who have filed for evictions in 6 states and 31 cities; as of last week, they’ve tracked 451,772 evictions filed during the pandemic. Moody’s data shows also that over 6 million renters are behind on their payments, but it’s still unclear how many may face eviction. And while Congress has appropriated $36 billion toward emergency rental aid, only a small percentage of that money has actually been disbursed and spent.
