Don't Extend the CDC's Unconstitutional 'Eviction Moratorium'

Landlords who violate the moratorium were threatened with fines of up to $100,000 and jail time.

That "Extending the eviction moratorium is a moral imperative." As I write this newsletter, Congress is considering legislation to extend it.

For one, the so-called moratorium was always a constitutionally suspect power-grab.

From the get-go, the eviction moratorium was a bad idea and a dangerous power-grab.

One landlord, libertarian policy analyst Jen Sidorova, who has left several of her rental units empty given the moratorium.

Too, the moratorium has left an enormous $21 billion tab.

The longer the eviction moratorium continues, the more this dysfunction magnifies.
