‘An Eviction Storm’: Pandemic Puts Renters At Risk In Georgia And Nationwide

Across the country, experts warn of widespread evictions as moratoriums made in light of the coronavirus pandemic expire in many states and federal unemployment checks end.

A recent study by the Aspen Institute found 19 million to 23 million U.S. renter households are at risk of eviction by Sept. 30.

In Georgia, many courts have paused in-person eviction hearings for the time being. Still,  thousands of evictions have been filed in Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties since March.
