00:39.633 --> 00:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

02:10.466 --> 02:14.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:7.5%
NO.

02:10.733 --> 02:17.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%

PANDEMIC.

02:17.833 --> 02:22.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND THEN THE EVICTION MORATORIUM

02:19.733 --> 02:24.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
KICKED IN BEFORE THEY COULD DO

02:21.233 --> 02:27.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%

COVID-RELATED HARDSHIPS.

02:28.600 --> 02:34.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
SO THEY MAY NOT QUALIFY EVEN

02:30.400 --> 02:35.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THOUGH THEY HAD TO ABIDE BY THE

02:33.200 --> 02:37.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
EVICTION BAN.

02:34.266 --> 02:38.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

02:38.333 --> 02:44.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> IF A TENANT JUST MOVES OUT,

02:40.600 --> 02:46.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
RIGHT, SAY THEY STAY FOR A YEAR

02:42.300 --> 02:47.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

HE SAYS EVICTIONS SHOULD BE A

03:15.900 --> 03:22.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
PRITZKER WILL LOOSEN THE
