The federal government has taken a step toward providing better protection for renters. President Joe Biden has released a document called a Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights.
The white paper is merely a proposal that presents some principles, guidelines, and goals that laws in the future might contain to protect renters. In its present form, it is not a law, has no legal authority, and does not create any rights.

The Need for the Blueprint

Many people, especially renters in some areas, have hoped for such a document because they have faced wrongful evictions or are facing getting evicted soon. COVID-19 created financial hardships for millions of people, putting them in a place where they could not pay the rent.
