You DO realize that signing the CDC document under false pretense has penalties to it, right? Just because you demand that the other room mate sign it "or else" does not require that they do so, especially if they are not qualified under the guidelines. How this play out with 2 or 3 claiming qualification wil have to be sorted out later, likely in the eviction proceedings. Bear inmind that if the LL is forced to file an eviction and even if you are allowed to stay unitl December 31, 2020, without paying rent, you will STILL have an eviction on your record and likely aoney judgment for rent which will make it near impossible to rent any place decent in the future.
