Daily Caller

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a ruling Tuesday that declined the Alabama Association of Realtors’ request in lifting the Eviction Moratorium mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

 

Along with Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Kavanaugh sided with the three liberal Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. With a 5-4 vote, the ban will stay in place through the end of July.

Landlords are not legally permitted to evict tenants who fail to meet rent obligations from their private properties, according to the decision. The Eviction Moratorium, originally to expire by the end of June, was extended by the CDC until July 31.
