Clip: 5/5/2021 | 2m 39sVideo has Closed Captions
New Jersey has had an eviction moratorium in place for over a year now.
The ban, issued by the CDC, was designed to protect those who have fallen behind on their rent. But even with this ruling against a federal ban, there are also local and state laws on the books banning evictions during a public health emergency.
