The residential eviction moratorium has been extended. On Tuesday, September 1, 2020, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a nationwide eviction moratorium through the end of 2020, in light of the expiration of the previous nationwide moratorium established by the CARES Act.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Under the CDC Order, landlords may not evict certain qualified tenants from any residential property for failure to pay rent. The CDC Order explains the terms and conditions of the moratorium, which include among other things:&nbsp;

core/paragraph

core/list

The goal of the CDC Order is to slow the spread of COVID-19 by decreasing the number of people living in close quarters (which is statistically common among people evicted from properties).&nbsp;Further, the CDC Order notes that the population of persons who would be evicted would include many who are predisposed to developing severe disease from COVID-19.&nbsp;

In order to invoke the protections of the CDC Order, tenants must provide a declaration form to their landlord. The declaration form, included as an attachment to the CDC Order, requires the tenant to certify income eligibility, inability to obtain government assistance, inability to make rent payments and a declaration that the tenant would likely become homeless or have to move into close quarters. Violators of the CDC Order could face criminal fines and/or jail time.&nbsp;
