The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) issued an emergency order stopping landlords from evicting covered tenants, beginning when the order is published (expected to be September 4), and running through December 31, 2020. The WRA created a document that includes frequently asked questions about the new eviction order.
Landlords, owners of a residential property, property managers, or other persons with a legal right to evict a tenant are prohibited from evicting any “covered person” from a residential property.
