Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium

A group of Alabama landlords is asking the Supreme Court to strike down a nationwide eviction moratorium put in place during the coronavirus pandemic.

The request, filed late Thursday evening, came after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., declined to end the policy, which was instituted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year. The group, led by the Alabama Association of Realtors, said CDC officials had overstepped their authority by halting evictions.

The group asked Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles requests from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, to grant an emergency order allowing evictions to resume. . .

The CDC’s moratorium is set to expire in June. Its expiration date has already been extended several times. The order was originally instituted to prevent the spread of the pandemic in overcrowded buildings. (Read more from “Landlords Ask Supreme Court To Strike Down COVID Eviction Moratorium” HERE)
