Too many. The number has only gone up with time, and at this rate, soon there will be more lawyers here than people.
Yeah, unfortunately tenant protections are largely a matter of state and local law, so tenants are often at the political whims of the party in power. Generally, this has meant more democratic cities and states have better protections while republican cities and states have fewer protections.Unless they are one of the people actually evicted or at risk of eviction because this doesn't actually stop it from happening right now or before November. This only makes those who are not actually being evicted think that Trump did something when he really didn't. People are still being evicted with this in place they just go around it. People were still being evicted around here in Texas under the previous eviction rules as well, and this one doesn't even have as much teeth as that one did.
Like I said, it's a half-measure at best and while I was reading through the order it was clear that this was designed to be able to create a narrative that Trump was doing something and this was probably the only route he had, and even then it has the kinds of required actions by tenants that could easily be forgotten (the form language was at least provided, though no form was created) and hard to track down (I had to find the order via a news site as the CDC's home and news pages have no mention of it). It feels very much like an attempt to create a story (one that didn't even break through many outlets didn't cover until more than a day had passed) but with no effort to actually provide real assistance.
