THE BIG DEAL—Biden administration issues targeted eviction moratorium: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Tuesday a targeted eviction moratorium after a wide-ranging federal ban expired over the weekend.
The new order will ban evictions until Oct. 3 in counties with high rates of COVID-19 transmission aligning with areas where the CDC recommends even vaccinated residents wear masks while indoors.
The order applies to tenants who were unable to pay rent due to a financial hardship related to the COVID-19 pandemic, but does not protect those facing eviction for reasons other than non-payment of rent, including violent or criminal conduct.
