CBS New York August 13, 2021 The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked part of New York's eviction moratorium law that would have expired at the end of August. Justices ruled in favor of landlords and overturned a provision that helped renters who suffered financially during the pandemic. The ruling says the state cannot enforce a provision that lets renters avoid eviction by filing a hardship declaration form. Instead, the court should determine the hardship.
