US District Judge (TX) rules eviction moratorium unconstitutional
US District Judge John Barker, who was appointed by then-President
Donald Trump to the court in the Eastern District of Texas, stopped
short of issuing a preliminary injunction, but said he expected the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to respect his ruling and withdraw the moratorium.

I called my Magistrate a few days ago and found out I can still evict since I have no federally backed mortgage and do not receive any government subsidies. I can file and if they don't come in and make a CDC claim then no problem.
Or I can send a 30 day notice certified mail and I can evict without tenant having any recourse.
This is in SC.
Red VS Blue
Jay,
So true. It's just hard to fathom anyone, (left, right, centrist or outer space) can think that stripping property owners of their property rights and income can be a good thing!
The "Cancel Rent" culture should be forced to take some remedial education in economics and the rule of law.
Remember folks, they could be coming for your livelihood next!!
