These states will still have protections for renters when the federal eviction moratorium ends

As the federal eviction moratorium ends, residents of some states will still be protected from evictions over the next few months. At least a dozen states and the District of Columbia will have a moratorium or some other rental protections to help keep people from losing their homes as officials scramble to assist millions affected by the coronavirus pandemic. 

The federal eviction moratorium ends July 31. More than 7 million households are behind on rent, according to the latest Census Bureau survey data, released in early July. Several states, however, will continue to have measures in place to help renters after Saturday. Hawaii's eviction protections run through August 6 and Maryland's, through August 15. Illinois and New York have protections through the end of August. California renters are protected through September. In New Mexico, the state Supreme Court would have to lift the moratorium and in New Jersey, renters can't be evicted until 2022.
