In September of 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) placed a moratorium on evictions. The moratorium was implemented to prevent landlords from evicting their tenants, and was in place until July 31, 2021 after an extension. The Alabama Association of Realtors challenged the moratorium in the Supreme Court. Justice Brett Kavanaugh was the deciding vote in a narrow 5-4 ruling. But Kavanaugh only voted to keep the moratorium in place because it was set to expire in July anyways. He also said the additional weeks would give states the time to distribute the $46.5 billion in rental assistance – this has not happened.
