The CDC order has enough loopholes that the eviction crisis probably won't wait until December.

-Landlords are allowed to evict for "non-financial" reasons (landlords are terrible enough to make things up). Renters have to sign a declaration that they can't afford full rent, will try to pay partial rent, and would become homeless if evicted.

-The declaration ends with: "I understand that any false or misleading statements or omissions may result in criminal and civil actions for fines, penalties, damages, or imprisonment" which give landlords a big item to threaten tenants with if they want to evict them.
