Do you have a property and do not pay rent on it?
The Justice Department is appealing a federal judge who has revoked the freeze on evictions from apartments
The order to freeze the eviction of the late payers that was issued a year ago by the CDC was attacked in the court in Texas, from here on out our story begins
The U.S. Department of Justice has appealed a federal judge's order in Texas blocking the freeze on the eviction of late tenants in a paycheck established last year by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
This is in response to a lawsuit filed by a group of homeowners in Texas.
Bottom line - there are judges who are no longer willing to tolerate late payment due to the epidemic, while the U.S. Department of Justice continues to ask for discounts for tenants - but a precedent has already been set in the area that could work in favor of property owners.
President Donald Trump first approved the ban on removing from others following the plague as early as September, and has since been extended twice, most recently by President Joe Biden on his first day in office.
District Judge Jay Campbell Barker, of the East Texas District Court, did not issue an anti-enforcement order, but according to CNN, he said he expects the CDC to respect its ruling and end the freeze.
The judge, appointed by Trump, ruled Thursday that the ban goes beyond the limits of the federal authority in an attempt to prevent infectious diseases from passing between states.
"The federal government cannot say that it has in the past exercised its power over inter-diplomatic trade to impose a moratorium on evacuation," including during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, Barker wrote in his decision.
The judge says the freeze on eviction, even if it is kosher, will be limited - and he is not the only one.
In a statement announcing the appeal on Saturday, the Justice Department said the freeze does not exceed congressional authority and that the impact of the judge's ruling is very limited anyway.
The decision does not deviate from the particular plaintiffs in that case, and it does not prohibit the application of the CDC eviction freeze to other parties.
For other homeowners who rent to people with coverage, the CDC eviction freeze remains in effect, ”said Brian Boynton, Assistant Attorney General in the Civil Division of the Department of Justice.
There are other such bans, both federal and state, and the decision did not address those. These include the ban on eviction and foreclosure on government-backed mortgage-backed entities like Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, which were also extended until March 31st.
The bottom line
The federal government claims that evicting delinquent tenants could lead to an increase in the homeless phenomenon and more crowded housing, both of which could add to the spread of the plague.
But then there are also the owners and managers of those properties where they do not pay the rent, and have their own bills to pay.
Not everyone is a big corporation with deep pockets. Far from it. The Municipal Institute estimates that nearly 60% of single-family units in this country are owned by people with only one or two.
There is no immediate word as to when an appellate court will hear the case.
Meanwhile, a $ 1.9 trillion bill making its way through Congress contains billions of dollars in rent assistance that could help ease the pain on both sides of the deal.
How much this will be in the end, and how much it will be able to help this confrontation between the two sides with the very legitimate concerns, remains to be seen.
There are also other state and federal bans, in addition to the millions of mortgages that have come out of foreclosure deferral in the coming months, ensuring that the pressure and hope of easing an epidemic and economic from the vaccine’s distribution can only continue to rise
