U.S. Supreme Court ends CDC's pandemic residential eviction moratorium

 CDC Eviction Moratorium was just struck down by SCOTUS.as reported by Rutkers.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ended the pandemic-related federal moratorium on residential evictions imposed by President Joe Biden's administration in a challenge to the policy brought by a coalition of landlords and real estate trade groups.

"It strains credulity to believe that this statute grants the CDC the sweeping authority that it asserts," the court said in an unsigned opinion.

 The opinion can be found here.

"It is up to Congress, not the CDC, to decide whether the public interest
merits further action here.

If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue,
Congress must specifically authorize it."
