In a 5-4 vote on Tuesday evening, the Supreme Court upheld the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) moratorium on tenant evictions, allowing the order to remain in effect until July 31.
The decision comes as a victory for President Joe Biden, who sought last week to extend the moratorium’s June 30 expiration by one month, according to a New York Times report. Biden hoped an extension would buy his administration valuable time to distribute the $21.5 billion authorized for emergency rental assistance payments by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Times reported.

The Supreme Court left in place a nationwide eviction moratorium first imposed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year to protect renters during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, a 5-4 majority of justices voted to deny an application to vacate a lower court stay, filed by the Alabama Association of Realtors on behalf of property owners, seeking to throw out the moratorium. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett would have granted the application.
D.C. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich struck down the moratorium on May 5, ruling the CDC lacks the authority under federal law but ordered a stay on her ruling hours later after the Justice Department appealed. The Tuesday ruling by the high court denied the realtors effort to throw out Friedrich s stay on her May 5 decision.
