The Supreme Court of the United States issued a 5-4 decision on June 29, 2021, without opinion, denying the emergency application of a group of landlords, real estate companies, and trade association, which sought to lift the CDC’s national moratorium on evictions, recently extended through July 31, 2021.  Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh stated that although he agrees that the CDC exceeded its authority in issuing the ban, keeping it in place for a few more weeks permits distribution of rental assistance to tenants and landlords, without fear of eviction.
