Tenant rights laws, eviction moratorium cause confusion in housing sector:
Victoria Esposito, advocacy director for the Legal Aid Society of Northeastern New York, said details of the latest eviction moratorium came out during the holidays, forcing courts and law enforcement to quickly get up to speed on the protections and regulations.
“It’s taken a bit for some of the courts to grapple with the eviction moratorium,” she said. “It took a little bit for everyone to get on the same page, but so far as I know, all the courts in our service area are observing the laws. But again, that is something we really want to keep an eye on.”
