Federal: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a nationwide eviction moratorium that has been extended through June 30, 2021. This moratorium limits the eviction of ‘covered persons’ for non-payment of rent only. It does not limit landlords’ abilities to pursue evictions for violations of the lease not related to non-payment. While several Federal district courts have overturned the CDC’s moratorium, in practice, it remains in effect until it has been fully litigated and appealed. We are monitoring this situation through partnership with our trusted local counsel.
