The looming “eviction crisis” represents a dismal failure of government at nearly every level. The Centers for Disease Controls set renters and landlords alike up for failure when it imposed an unconstitutional eviction moratorium as a way to slow the spread of COVID-19 that has now been declared unlawful by federal courts in Texas, Ohio, and Tennessee.
The state agencies in charge of distributing rent relief dollars have made things worse by failing to get the money to those who need it.
And now the Justice Department is causing confusion by claiming incorrectly that the judgments setting aside the moratorium don’t apply generally that they only apply to the plaintiffs in the cases.
