Oakland's Own Barbara Lee Picks Up the Challenge to Protect Renters U.S. Wide

Breaking news! Representative Barbara Lee and a Chicago area Congressman, Chuy Garcia, introduced a federal bill called the "Take Responsibility for Workers and Family Act" which would include a Renter's Eviction Moratorium. If this bill passes Congress, federal law "trumps" state law (no pun intended) and may afford the best tenant protection. Federal law is the "supreme law" under the U.S. Constitution.

Check back for regular updates. A list of Bay Area cities that have enacted - or about to enact - eviction moratoriums due to COVID-19 are listed to the right of this blog post under COVID-19.
