The U.S. Supreme Court has blocked part of New York’s eviction moratorium law that would have expired at the end of August.

Justices ruled in favor of landlords and overturned a provision that helped renters who suffered financially during the pandemic.

The ruling says the state cannot enforce a provision that lets renters avoid eviction by filing a hardship declaration form. Instead, the court should determine the hardship.
