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

It’s a sellers market right now. Just wait until these people try to rent another place. Sell it all. This will drive rents up 200%. There is no moratorium on costs. They will eventually pay tenfold more for their “free rent”
What utter bullshit!!! How does the CDC have authority to do this? I don't think a Biden Executive Order would have the authority to do this either.
Scotus ruled on the issue of the CDC running the country?
When the hell did the CDC become an arbiter in landlord-tenant disputes?
Then the money comes from CDC’s budget...including salaries, etc,.
The CDC does NOT have the power to change STATE LAWS on Landlord-Tenant contracts... they do NOT have this power, and States and individual landlords should and will IGNORE this IDIOTIC intrusion into business agreements. There is NO purview the CDC has— in its agency mission statement and responsibility— which may be applied to CLINICAL prevention of Covid by forcing private land/property owners to allow tenants to live rent free. Living Rent Free because of the LIE of not being able to get employment is an even BIGGER LIE.
They were shot down once- they will be shot down again. FL Gov. DeSantis will re-affirm for Florida residents this “ruling” has NO, ZERO legal power over contracts.
Is this the issue that Kavanaugh ruled that it was no big deal cause it was set to expire?
Lol. Conservatives. Punked again.
Nothing screams Democratic Republic like giving the power of legislating to a pack of unaccountable beaurocrats.
What country? Countries have laws. We’re a territory with edicts. If you’re a landlord I’m sure there will be a remedy for your losses. Laurence Fink,, Blackrock, will be by soon to relieve you of your troubles by buying you out.
You’re probably right. I can’t think of anything else. If they get away with this, though, there should be a case brought immediately.
It certainly won’t be hard to find parties with standing…every landlord in the country will probably be getting ready to storm the CDC.
And do you think that anyone is going to file for Emergency action by the SC? It should be filed by tomorrow morning. But who is going to do it?
The lawyers are chicken Sh*t about going after the government at the state or federal level. They know they will suffer grave retaliation. It is the only explanation as to why law firms have done so little.
“Just wait until these people try to rent another place.”
I’m there right now. Have good tenant leaving. Boy am I going to run extensive checks before I let anyone new in.
The burden of proof will be on the applying renter.
