Renter Protections at the Federal Level On September 4, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an order (2020- 19654) in the Federal Register, temporarily halting residential evictions nationwide through December 31, 2020, for covered renters. The CDC published an FAQs document related to this order. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (P.L. 116-260) was enacted. Division N of the act extends the CDC eviction moratorium order through January 31, 2021 (§502) and provides $25 billion for emergency rental assistance to be administered by state and local governments (§501). These actions follow the expiration of a previous federal eviction moratorium. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136) provided atemporary federal moratorium on eviction filings for nonpayment of rent against renters residing in federally assisted properties or properties with federally backed mortgages. This moratorium went into effect upon enactment of the CARES Act on March 27, 2020, and lasted for 120 days (through July 24, 2020). Landlords were required to provide at least 30 days' notice before renters must vacate the property (not before August 23, 2020). For more information, see CRS Insight IN11516, Federal Eviction Moratoriums in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, by Maggie McCarty and Libby Perl Additionally, the CARES Act contained mortgage relief provisions for properties with federally backed mortgages, including the availability of mortgage forbearance. Property owners with federally backed multifamily mortgages that receive forbearance are required to abide by certain protections for renters for the duration of the forbearance. Multifamily mortgages are mortgages on properties with five or more housing units.
