The Centre for Disease Control has announced that effective today evictions across the board in America are banned through 31 December. According to the health agency, the move was decidedly made amid increasing concern that the Fall season could be exponentially more deadly than the previous months in America amid the Coronavirus.
According to NBC News, The White House apparently granted the CDC the authority to make such a decision on grounds that COVID-19 would become a disaster if mass evictions took place. A disaster in fact of unimaginable proportions. With the order the CDC has now blocked landlords from evicting anyone who makes up to a certain income threshold. Per the guidelines, it appears that single folks who make up to rough $99k and married couples who make up to roughly $148k are protected by the sweeping order.
The rent is due today, but too many families won’t be able to make payments through no fault of their own— pushing them deeper into debt and the prospect of being thrown out of their homes,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement on Tuesday. “Right now, over 40 million Americans are at risk of eviction.”
