TEMPLE, Texas — The CDC released an order to temporarily halt residential evictions for nonpayment of rent on September 4 and goes through December 31.
According to a CDC FAQ document, "This means that a landlord, owner of a residential property, or other person with a legal right to pursue an eviction or a possessory action cannot evict for nonpayment of rent any covered person from any residential property in any U.S. state or U.S. territory where the Order applies."
