As nonprofits, landlord and tenants fiercely advocate for an extension or solution, the federal eviction moratorium is set to expire this weekend.

More people in the U.S. fell behind on rent this month, leading to an increase in the number of renters at risk of eviction, according to an analysis from Zillow.

Zillow found that in Connecticut:

• 84,891 renter households are currently behind on rent, 20,044 more than in June.
• It’s estimated there are 22,572 renter households currently at risk of eviction, 8,623 fewer than last month.
• Factoring in added uncertainty, Zillow projects there will be 3,524 eviction filings in Connecticut, and 2,657 are likely to result in eviction.
• Of those who are behind on rent, 2 percent believe they are very likely, 29.5 percent somewhat likely, 34.9 percent not very likely, and 31.4 percent not at all likely to be evicted.

The federal ban was established by the Centers for Disease Control as a public health measure.

When the CDC indicated there would be no more extensions, it gave landlords and tenants a deadline by which to apply for rental relief, but the chaotic, confusing and extensive process has deterred a number of would-be applicants.

While these projections suggest a large-scale evictions crisis may be avoided, the number of renters at risk, number of filings and actual evictions nationally have all increased slightly from June, Zillow concluded.
