This tenant attorney is expecting an "avalanche" of evictions

Months ago, legislators approved several layers of protections to keep renters from being kicked out and potentially made homeless during a pandemic. Now several of these protections are expiring, though there are efforts underway to extend them. Scott Weaver, supervising attorney at the Eviction Defense Collaborative and a volunteer with the San Francisco Tenants Union, lays out which protections are still in place and which are going away — and offers some guidance about how tenants and landlords should handle the impacts of the pandemic on tenants' ability to pay rent.
