> What am I missing? - Not all evictions were covered by the federal ban, or any applicable local bans - Most people likely did not actually go through the eviction process (most people want / try to pay their bills; most would avoid a life where a landlord is constantly hounding them for unpaid rent; its greatly preferable for a tenant to avoid the mark by almost any means; can be expensive for landlords; some landlords still do illegal “self-help” evictions like lockouts or making tenancy unlivable) - If the evictions don’t actually “soar” beyond pre-pandemic levels I’d assume it indicates the number of tenants abusing (or even rightly using) the moratoriums was lower than the stakeholders have been making it out to be - There have been programs running simultaneously to provide rental relief across the country to make payments to landlords
