On October 28th, Governor Roy Cooper issued Executive Order 171, titled "Assisting North Carolinians At Risk Of Eviction." The order builds on the CDC directive from September, which is intended to prevent or limit the number of evictions due to nonpayment of rent. That order has not been uniformly applied throughout the country or across North Carolina. The most important provisions of Governor Cooper's order put some force into the CDC directive, first by simply recognizing it as effective, and then by adding the following requirement that are binding on landlords and agencies of state government, including the courts: [ 165 more words ]
