"We did this illegal thing because it will take the courts some time to work it out and declare it illegal" is not a good look.

The CDC moratorium isn't as effective as people think it is in re: landlords. Even during the pandemic, a landlord could simply allow leases to end, refuse to renew, and then file an ejectment against the prior tenant/now squatter. Some courts read the original moratorium as barring ejectment, but many (most here) did not.
I think the intention of these CDC edicts is to freak out lenders and servicers. Unlike most small to mid-sized landlords, the servicers and lenders are targets for class actions. The big servicers are still freezing efforts to eject people for fear of being sued despite the courts allowing cases to go forward. Servicers are asking for continuances of foreclosure proceedings and sales.
