On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an Order preventing evictions due to nonpayment of rent for certain tenants and residents that certify sufficient financial and other need as discussed below.
What are the key issues with CDC’s eviction moratorium?
Restricts eviction
Applies to covered individuals only – occupants claiming need for protection under a declaration
Continues financial and legal obligations
This is not a rule
Civil criminal penalties for violation
The scope and application of this Order are unclear in some respects and are likely to be the source of further developments over the remainder of the year.
