The US Supreme Court has ruled to allow evictions to resume across the country.
It blocked the Biden administration’s Covid-related moratorium on evictions, which would have extended protections to millions of Americans.
The moratorium was first put in place a year ago to combat homelessness during the Covid pandemic.
All three liberal judges dissented from the ruling, while all six conservatives ruled in favour of blocking the extension.
“If a federally imposed eviction moratorium is to continue, Congress must specifically authorize it,” the court wrote in an unsigned opinion released on Thursday evening.
The Biden administration had argued that the moratorium was needed due to a spike in Covid cases.
