Courts unsure of caseload, landlords pick up the pieces & rental assistance remains as the eviction moratorium expires – WCIA (Champaign)

Judge Brett Olmstead, who rules on all of the eviction cases in Champaign County, described his caseload for first appearances Monday morning (Oct. 4) as large: 57 eviction cases on his docket. “Still, largely the evictions we’re seeing filed right now are cases where the tenant-landlord relationship just isn’t working anymore. The landlord isn’t interested in being paid, they just want the tenant to move out.”
