[WSBARP] More Eviction Moratorium - Federal - Effective today

[David R. Ambrose]

Timothy,

Perhaps not, but given the moratorium order imposes criminal penalties for violations, I expect this will have the desired effect on stopping residential evictions.

Text from the order:

“CRIMINAL PENALTIES:
Under 18 U.S.C. 3559, 3571; 42 U.S.C. 271; and 42 CFR
70.18, a person violating this Order may be subject to a
fine of no more than $100,000 if the violation does not
result in a death or one year in jail, or both, or a fine
of no more than $250,000 if the violation results in a
death or one year in jail, or both, or as otherwise
provided by law. An organization violating this Order may
be subject to a fine of no more than $200,000 per event if
the violation does not result in a death or $500,000 per
event if the violation results in a death or as otherwise
provided by law. The U.S. Department of Justice may
initiate court proceedings as appropriate seeking
imposition of these criminal penalties.

Does the CDC have authority over courts to prohibit evictions?

Hi Brain Trust -

Just wanted to update on yet another moratorium on evictions. HERE IT IS<https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-19654.pdf>. I think this language is intended to cover only evictions that are for non-payment of rent. But, I'm not sure it's language clearly achieves that end.
