Housing activists gathered at the Downtown Brooklyn
courthouse Tuesday to call for an extension of the moratorium on evictions.
Advocates from Brooklyn Eviction Defense and the Crown
Heights Tenant Union passed out information regarding tenants' rights after the
moratorium
ended over the weekend.
One activist said that it should be extended until June 30.
“Throwing people in the streets is not a solution to the
crisis. It’s only a recipe for more crisis,” he told News 12.
The Rent Stabilization Association said it was time for the
moratorium to end. They are urging the state to do more to help tenants who
can’t pay their bills.
