A federal appeals court on Friday said that it would not block the Biden administration’s latest eviction moratorium.
In a brief order, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit said it was denying a request from the landlord groups, who are challenging the moratorium, to reverse a previous court order that has allowed it to continue. The legal challenge to the moratorium is likely now headed to the Supreme Court, which in June refused to block an earlier iteration of the moratorium but may be more inclined to halt the current version. The latest moratorium was announced by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month, days after the administration allowed a previous freeze on evictions to expire on July 31.
