High Court Says CDC Lacks Authority
In a 5-4 ruling Tuesday evening, the U.S. Supreme Court said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lacked authority to implement a blanket, nationwide eviction moratorium.


Although the court declined to lift the ban immediately, the ruling means the current moratorium will expire at the end of July.


“This is a massive victory for property rights,” says NAR President Charlie Oppler. “For more than a year, mom-and-pop property owners have been pushed toward financial ruin as they upkeep their properties and pay their taxes and mortgages with no income of their own. With the pandemic waning and the economy improving, it is time to restore the housing sector to its healthy, former function. Property owners also deserved this absolute clarity from our federal court system regarding property rights in America to avoid similar financial harm in the future.”


“This ruling keeps in place certainty for tenants for another month while bringing clarity to struggling housing providers. It is now critical that the nearly $50 billion in rental assistance NAR helped secure gets out to those who need it most,” Oppler continues.


The eviction ban was first issued in September 2020 during President Trump’s term and was extended by President Biden several times through the end of July.


With the support of NAR, the Georgia and Alabama Associations of REALTORS® challenged the orders in federal court.


In May, a U.S. federal judge sided with housing providers, ruling the moratorium unconstitutional. However, the judge issued a stay of her ruling pending appeal.

The Samuel Bours House on Spring Street in Newport sits on its original site. Built c. 1777, it is a two-story building set end-to-the-street with a gambrel roof. Unlike many 18th century Newport houses, the main entry is on the long side-yard façade rather than the end that faces the street. The house was purchased in 1969 by NRF and restored in 1971-72.

The house does not appear on the Stiles Map of 1758, but by 1777 a house owned by Samuel Bours did exist at this location. Bours was a successful and respected merchant trader. Records of 1805 show the house belonging to Samuel's son, John Bours. John was also a successful merchant, dealing in several areas of trade, and also maintaining a shop on Thames Street named the Golden Eagle.
