As states reopen, tenants are facing the end of freezes on rent payments and evictions put in place at the start of the pandemic despite still-rising joblessness and a stalled economy.
The freezes didn't cancel monthly payments, which means that with June 1 looming, renters may suddenly owe three months' rent to cover April and May as well.

This is also becoming a serious issue in Italy as well! There were already massive evictions taking place before the quarantine, due to unemployment, but now I believe this will increase exponentially when the courts reopen. Let's hope for the best!
