New CDC Eviction Moratorium Will Not Apply In Tennessee
The Tennessee court system announced they will not be following the Centers for Disease Control’s new eviction moratorium after it was ruled unconstitutional.
The CDC extended the order through October of 2021, but it will only apply in counties with a substantial or high level of COVID cases. This includes the new Delta variant.
The moratorium will not apply in states where a federal court order does not allow it. These include Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio.
According to Judge Rachel Bell from Nashville, the dockets for evictions have already filled up.
“Just this past Tuesday, we had court in this courtroom, we had to move out of here and go downstairs to courtroom 1A because the dockets were so full,” Bell told News Channel 5. “We had I think 279 cases on that day.”
Rest here…
