BRADY?That's right, some evictionattorneys say it's apush-pull situation.

Whilelandlords can't evicttenants who can't pay rent,some may not be able to paythe expenses on theirproperty leading to anincrease in foreclosures.PKG: Eric Hallet Legal AidHousing Advocate "Next weekthere are at leastone-hundred families facingeviction every day the courtis open." However, that'sall supposed to change.

Theeviction moratorium whichexpired on July 24th is nowextended through the end ofthe year.

The C-D-C saysit's "no longer healthy toevict anyone from aresidential property" due toconcerns over furtherspreading covid-19.

The order wouldcover nearly all propertiesacross the state --preventing landlord fromevicting tenants who can'tpay rent Housing advocatessay this will help thousandsin Tulsa.

"It's possiblethat Tulsa may see adramatic decrease ineviction between now and theend of the year." However,eviction attorney's we'vespoken to say it's a doubleedged sword.

While tenantscan now stay in their homes,some landlords won't beable to pay expenses ontheirproperty -- leading to anincrease in foreclosures.Sotvo: Nate milner Milnerlegal group eviction lawyer14 sec.

"it won't justaffect big majorcorporations that own majorapartment complexes itaffects people that haveinherited and have a renterlive on that income on amonth-to- month basis.

Ifthey don't get that, theymay be up a creek."According to the order, somelandlords will receive moneythrough the housing andurban development fund.However, Milner says it'snot likely to help landlordsby the masses.

That's whyit's important forlandlords, who have amortgage, to speak withtheir lenders for relief incase their tenants can'tpay.

"It's all a push andpull situation andmoratoriums are difficult tonavigate without having aneffective order all the wayaround and so that'sfrustrating for landlordsbecause most of them feellike they are not gettingthe assistance."While Hallet agrees there'sno clear relief forlandlords in this order.

Hesays there are funds withinthe state-relief funds specificallyfor landlords.

"We havemillions of dollars to givedirectly to landlords thathave been impacted by COVIDbecause they have tenantsthat can't payrent." LIVE:Landlords can apply onlinefor that relief.
