Will Private Rental Housing Survive Covid-19 Eviction Hyperbole?

Almost every day I hear from housing providers worried about their future as eviction bans grind forward in the United States without any sign of real rent relief. I also hear from people pitching stories about eviction. However, many of these pitches come to me with the prevailing assumption that I am going to take the data point offered as a story hook for granted. Recently I got a pitch about the “10,000 evictions” that had been filed. Sometimes I’ll push back on these pitches. So does the Apartment Association of Colorado. Even though the United States is going through the worst economic crisis of the century, there still isn’t an “eviction epidemic.” Why isn’t that news? 

Someone out there simply doing their job for an attorney that presumably represents defendants in eviction cases emailed me with the 10,000 evictions pitch. 

“My experience is that most housing providers are doing ok; people are paying the rent,” I wrote back. “And for those who are having issues with tenants like the story I told about Katrina Bilella, are struggling.”
