Pritzker Extends Residential Eviction Ban to Nov. 16
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Friday extended his executive order prohibiting residential evictions across Illinois. The extension, which runs through Nov. 16, cited the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ban on evictions has been in effect since March.
“Nothing really has changed in terms of the effect of COVID-19 and its effect on the economy, its effect on people’s jobs and their ability, or inability, to pay their rent or mortgage,” Pritzker said Friday at an unrelated news conference.
In a statement, the Neighborhood Building Owners Alliance, representing smaller Chicago-area housing providers, including landlords, said, “The Governor’s blanket eviction moratorium, among the most expansive in the nation, still offers no recourse for struggling neighborhood housing providers.
“Neighborhood and affordable housing, most of which is supplied by smaller providers, is facing dire circumstances which will imperil their ability to keep their buildings stable and their residents secure,” the NBOA said.
