He discussed the importance of Right to Counsel in keeping tenants in their homes. Professor Scherer also discussed the current state of affairs, including the eviction moratorium and the closing of the courts. Professor Scherer also talked about COVID-related issues, including termination of leases, temporary rentals, and rent and affordability.
