Please do not extend evictions ban

What the petition asks
The costs and losses with eviction are already high and long. This does not includes costs towards damaged property. This uncertain evictions ban is putting landlords to risk of incurring losses which could put landlords themselves homeless.
We would need the government to re-instate evictions.
This ban is not even allowing the process to start, putting all the losses and risks against private landlords to bear. Once the evictions ban is lifted, it allows the system to look into case by case basis to at least evict the more serious ones and protect the landlords and their homes.
Landlords are also affected with COVID-19 and have their uncertainties to deal with related to income and family
