Demonstrators hold up signs as they gather at Brooklyn Housing court during a 'No Evictions, No Police' national day of action in New York City.Demonstrators hold up signs as they gather at Brooklyn Housing court during a 'No Evictions, No Police' national day of action in New York City.The Trump administration is ordering a halt on evictions nationwide through December for people who have lost work during the pandemic and don't have other good housing options.
But this new ban, which doesn't offer any way for landlords to recoup unpaid rent, is being met with a mixed response. Landlords are worried about falling off a cliff too. Doug Bibby is the president of the National Multifamily Housing Council. He says,"We are disappointed that the Administration has chosen to enact a federal eviction moratorium without the existence of dedicated, long-term funding for rental and unemployment assistance."
Under the rules of the order, renters have to sign a declaration saying they don't make more than $99,000 a year - or twice that if filing a joint tax return. And that they have no other option if evicted other than homelessness or living with more people in close proximity.

Hint to landlords: Use month-to-month leases. Collect a damage deposit that is not applied to rent but is large enough to cover a month's rent plus potential, reasonable damages. Make rent due on the last day of the month. If rent is late, issue a notice to vacate on the 1st.
Middle America has No idea how easy it is for slugs to deceive government they have no income subsequently collect Snap benefits and a free ride on rent. I have several tenants working full time not paying rent to take advantage of the rent moratorium. Small landlord is furious!
Thank you President Trump!
And I think that's great. What about the landlords that have bills to pay as well?
No humanity to evict someone during this pandemic
Wildly unconstitutional. Period.
This cannot be legal NO reason overrides responsibility People spend every dime on crap not needed to live, then expect someone else to foot the bill 4 their unforseen emergencies Some make a living off rental property Screw them? This is outrageous & wrong!
A Private Entity cannot restrict Private property rights .. its Illegal .
Everything regarding the economy is the government’s fault so now we’re just gonna expand on it more
When tf did the CDC become a legislative body So they are now well versed in economics as well as disease? Outstanding. Let's abolish all government and let the CDC rule (sarcasm)
realDonaldTrump SecretaryCarson please do something about this....
Is there a moratorium on mortgages, too? This isn't rocket science. This is business. People take out loans to buy property to lease to other people. No money from renter = no loan payment = foreclosure on the property by the bank. So person who took risk for business loses. 😕🙄
How can the CDC do this?
lol, on what planet does the Centers for Disease Control have jurisdiction over the fucking local court systems?
Adorable. Republicons trying to look like the blessed benefactors for Christmas. I don't know about you, but the CDC claiming authority it doesn't have to make Trump look cuddly for Christmas isn't going to get realDonaldTrump my vote.
It sounds nice not to evict people, but not all land lords are wealthy. They have mortgages to pay on the places people rent, if renters don’t pay, mortgages won’t be either. To do this with out taking care of both ends will hurt people more than it helps.
Absolute garbage. I would never rent a property to a poor person now. The govt can just force me to house them for free, but of course will require me to pay property taxes. Landlords will want 6 month deposits, people will live in their cars, and then be ticketed for it. 'Covid'
Insane. Cdc has no authority
This will have horrible unintended consequences unless the Gov backstops landlords...most landlords are regular people that have poured their savings into a property for retirement or so they can live day to day...why should they suffer?realDonaldTrump CDCgov
MyPlace4U CDC does not have the legal authority to do any such thing
While I'm in favor of assisting people who have been hit financially by covid, I would want an eviction moratorium that gives landlords a chance to get paid too. What happens to tenants who can't pay rent when the property goes into foreclosure because the landlord has no income?
CDC where’s SecretaryCarson isn’t that his “job”
As unconstitutional as shutting down the businesses in the first place. You can't fix a government produced problem with more government. What we need now is civil disobedience. Open your businesses. Get back to work. We can do it smartly and safely. We are Americans.
I bought only 9000 died of Covid-19.
Is there mortgage payment, property tax and property insurance halt also? Otherwise, many small landlords will be in foreclosure.
That's nice of the CDC but they have no authority in the matter.
I agree, this is putting a bandaid on the inevitable. Get the pandemic under control, stop with the self serving lies & the economy will start coming back. Unfortunately I think many companies have learned it’s financially beneficial to have a lean staff.
The CDC has no authority to take this action.
Are they paying the landlords mortgage during this time?
What happened to “flatten the curve”?
The CDC doesn't have the authority to do this.
By what authority can they do this? Who am i kidding, its 2020, government has no bounds.
This typical Trump administration, give the agency not-in-charge to do lip services.
This is dumb. How are property owners supposed to pay taxes to the government?
since when does the CDC have this kind of authority?!
Um, The 5th and 10th Amendments would like to have a word, along with Contract Law I could see something being worked out through HUD that only covers HUD housing and HUD supplemented housing but this is a major breach of law
😳😳
The CDC has taken over the Department of Housing and Urban Development?
This is stupid. Give people a direct payment from the gov’t. to help pay their rent now. Delaying the payment HELPS NO ONE—not the renter or the landlord! Reinstate the +$600/wk unemployment to cover the rest +food & utilities. This puts money directly back into the economy.
Uhhhhh.....i don't think this is how anything works
Well that’s illegal and unconstitutional as all hell.
In other news, the DOJ ordered cash payments to dog walkers and condoms to the elderly. The FBI is now giving advice on investments.
Can they call a nationwide halt on hunger too? I'm famished.
A bandaid if that
I always thought rental costs were outrageously high. Landlords are money lovers. The fairest among them are okay, but too many are only in for the money. While prices should be lower, and fairer, during lockdown, bills should be PAUSED, with no debt accumulation whatsoever.
Amazing way for realDonaldTrump and cdc to burden private citizens with the cost of helping other private citizens.
I’m rather confused how the CDC has any authority in the matter.
Uh, can the CDC do that?
A Faux-er just said trump already did this by EO. Talk about keeping both the left and right hands busy lying.
Have you researched this? CDC has NO authority to do this. The only way possibly, would be non-eviction of people under active quarantine. But since quarantine only lasts 14 days, they can't give a skate for 3 months. CDC SUCKS at it's handling of covid realDonaldTrump
How do they have the authority to do that?
So when the landlords can't pay their mortgage, or feed their children, and the covid bubble breaks, when they sell all their properties to big companies, do people think the big companies are going to be any nicer at evicting them all?
This is a continued assault on the independent upper middle class.
This is trash.. And a continued assault on the upper middle class.
This is just a scheme to prop up the stock market until election day! When evictions come after that, GOP will blame them on Biden.
But we still sending children to school? Iight that makes sense smh
Wow. I’m glad the CDC has no authority to do this. Lol
cjdjam Where's Constitution empower the CDC to do this?
Yes but it's the CDC, an organization that has proven itself more than capable of extending their reach beyond their grasp.
So putting a stop on all bank payments from landlords?
Unless you're throwing House Parties then you f*****
Just another authoritarian government agency trying to unilaterally pick winners and losers.
But will they get evicted when the owner loses his property to the banks, for non payment?
I’m surprised you even reported this without trying to give Biden credit. But you left out: “TRUMP TOLD CDC TO CANCEL RENT”
How can this be Constitutional This is, in effect, the taking of property. BTFSTTG
Where does CDC get to make real estate policy overriding private voluntary contracts?
He’s desperate.
How about I tear down my rental units. So I am not on the hook for the utilities, and taxes.
This is just about delaying the hammer until after the election. Now with added fees. Horribly manipulative.
Is the CDC also ordering a sweeping nationwide halt on defaulting loans, or insurance payments or relieving owners of responsibility for maintenance?
Why is the CDC giving economic advice?
I'm not certain why Americans that were/are receiving substantial financial aid, were not paying their rent?
I call bullshit on this. First, if the CDC has the authority to do this based on 'public health,' then they have the authority to order Flint, Michigan's water system be repaired. They'd also have the authority to order a mask mandate and a national testing strategy.
So, that back rent will come due at the same time people have to start repaying their payroll tax if they’re working, or just as their extended unemployment runs out if they aren’t. All those memes about 2020 being the worst year ever... they aren’t going to age well.
OK, great news for those facing evection👍 So do landlords get free food and healthcare and prescriptions and mechanical repairs, etc.? Since their income is cut off? Asking for a friend.
I hope people realize they will have to pay that rent eventually. This ain't a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Ummm... I’m all for helping Americans with their rents but on what authority does the CDC have to be involved with this?
Thank you, POTUS
No way the CDC has the legal authority to do this. I’m tossing another BS card on this one.
Can the CDC talk to my professor about my paper being late?
Wait. The CDC? they have jurisdiction? Just trying to understand. Landlords need leniency on their mortgages.
Can they order my wife to start returning my calls?🥺🥺
Anyone who doesn’t see this as a problem coming from the CDC is fooling themselves. Said policies need to come from Congress. Not debating the merits but this is WAY past their purview
Yes cause after this is over my renters are going to pay an extra 75 bucks a month until I get my money lol. Who would evict right now anyway? People are sick and have kids and bills and shit. It’s going to be 35 degrees in three weeks. No.
Once everyone is out on the street, we'll have achieved 100% herd immunity.
Who is going to cover the mortgage bill come December when the renter can’t pony up a huge bill for back rent? Trump?
GET A JOB LOSERS always wanting Shit for FREE!!
What powers does the CDC have? What branch of government are they. How are they funded? Please tell us?
And they will have to pay their back rent on Jan. 1. Happy New Year, suckers!
Yeah, they’d hate to actually give struggling people an actual break. (Hence no help with paying rent) 😡
How does the CDC have the authority to do this?
He really is sowing the flames of division!!
Lending companies... don't get ratchet on the tenants and landlords, 'cause this is prime time for sweeping audits...
Cancel rent. What's the difference if I'm evicted now or in January? The assumption is that everyone will be back in the black by December. Not true
Wtf does the CDC have to do with landlord/tenant issues? Massive overreach.
Why do they care, they will just misrepresent the numbers.
Can the CDC do that?
And how do they prove the tenant can’t pay or is just simply refusing to pay because they know they can’t be evicted? What about the landlords... will they be compensated? They need to make ends meet too
But I thought orange man bad?
Oh wow.... decency
I wonder if the regulations will create noticeable amounts of new residential inventory as small to large investors liquidate portfolios.
