re: Federal judge vacates CDC's eviction moratorium

I corrected the OP and removed the gifs. This does not affect everyone but exactly who it affects is a mystery to me.

quote:

Renters demonstrate their eligibility for CDC eviction protections by signing a sworn declaration under penalty of perjury, attesting that they would face homelessness or overcrowded conditions if evicted, and certifying that they have made partial rent payments to the best of their ability.

A number of eviction freezes enacted by state and local governments will not be affected by Wednesday’s ruling, which concerns only the federal moratorium.

The decision comes as landlords have sought to remove tens of thousands of tenants who have been unable to pay rent due to financial hardship.

Corporate landlords filed more than 56,000 eviction actions since the eviction pause took effect last September, with almost half of those filed this year, according to a study by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project of seven states.

Those notices, which don’t always lead to evictions, are being sent even as billions in rental assistance authorized by Congress continues to make its way from Washington to tenants in need of aid. Experts say there is no nationwide data tracking how many notices have led to evictions during the freeze.

Reports from media outlets and tenants’ rights groups reveal instances where judges in Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee either diverged from the CDC order or disregarded the protections completely. In Texas, a judicial advisory panel last month explicitly gave a green light to state courts to ignore the federal moratorium

---

The Texas State Supreme Court established an eviction moratorium that applied to Justices of the Peace, the court of original jurisdiction.

That has since expired.

The feds stopped foreclosures on federally-backed loans.

Because they thought a portion of the health code under which they operate allowed them to do it.

Did they now.

Lets do it until we called on it then plead, "we thought we had the authority to do so. We meant no harm".

Trump thought it was the right thing to do.

It's an insane mess.

Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction moratorium? It does not,"

lol no and only a moron believes this

This is a federal district judge, right? Should his ruling apply nationwide?

I think there was much consternation about a Hawaii judge doing that.

---

No, it shouldn't, but...since Hawaii already set the standard, that's how it should be applied equally.

Shits about to get real ugly, just wait until these people that got used to living 'rent free' in someone else's home are looking at being homeless

Not that I'm overly sympathetic to landlords but this was crazy
