The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday issued a moratorium on evictions targeting areas of the country with high levels of COVID-19 transmission, extending an eviction ban for much of the nation just days after a blanket moratorium had expired.
The CDC order applies to counties experiencing significant levels of virus spread, which is defined by the agency as 50 to 100 cases per 100,000 people. A congressional source said the order will likely apply to roughly 90 percent of the renter population in the U.S.
The order will expire on Oct. 3. It was issued after days of back-and-forth between the White House and congressional Democrats over who was responsible for extending the moratorium

There is rent assistance with the RAFT program. The government will pay mega bucks in back rent directly to the landlord. Tons of raft money left but there is a difference between not being able to pay rent and not paying rent because you don’t have to.
They seem to get to keep all the power we let them keep.
Enough is enough!
High rate equals = 50 covid cases per 100,000? Not even hospitilzation but sniffles.
WTF!
The CDC should just double the rent of anyone who isn’t vaccinated, since they have the authority to do this.
On the other hand, this may just be a cry for help. "Stop me because I can't control myself." Maybe the dems are just waiting for the Supreme Court to govern in Congress's absence.
“Since when does the cdc make laws or rules? How is that constitutional?”
Congress ceded its powers and authority to the “administrative branch” of the federal government many years ago.
Lol
Better ask one of those people who are always bragging they carry a copy of the Constitution in their pocket. What’s the point?
GENERAL STRIKE
It’s way past time.
Some landlords are not willing to take the government money because it comes with strings.
SCOTUS supposedly let the original CDC eviction ban stand even though they said it was illegal (!!) because it was due to expire in a few weeks.
Now what? The CDC ban is back. Will SCOTUS let the new ban remain? If they do, then it diminishes the power of what the court says. In effect they become not a final arbiter, but simply a court of suggestion. The real power would then move to agencies, like the CDC, that are run by the unelected an unaccountable.
Did section 8 housing continue to pay landlords?????
One box left.
The Constitution was written by dead white slaveholders.
The CDC is staffed by saints—that is why they wear the white coats.
;-)
What about the landlords that filed court papers Monday and Tuesday ?
The strings tend to work out in this case. Just offer a branch.
Yes
I suppose the only way they could do it directly at this point would be to hold them in contempt. It would take another lawsuit seeking criminal charges to do anymore than that.
Does anyone remember what president started this?
SCOTUS already ruled on this.
Fast track it and shut these Demon Rats down.
