The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s eviction moratorium, which generally prohibits landlords from evicting tenants for non-payment of rent if the tenant submits a written declaration that they are unable to afford full rental payments, will now end July 31, The Hill reports.
It was set to expire June 30.
The moratorium and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)’s interim rule in support of the moratorium, prompted some lawsuits in opposition to those actions, ACA International previously reported.
ACA International filed comments on the interim final rule in May after collecting member feedback from those impacted by it.
The CDC’s moratorium prohibition applies to an agent or attorney acting as a “debt collector” on behalf of a landlord or owner of the residential property, ACA previously reported.
