Detroit — The city’s rental eviction filings are on track to return to pre-pandemic levels as temporary emergency protections expire, University of Michigan researchers say.
Eviction filings in Detroit rose from historic lows to 75% of the pre-pandemic rate as of June, according to UM’s Poverty Solutions. At the current filing rate, 21% of Detroit renters, or 61,000 tenants, will face the threat of eviction this year, they note.
