The NAA Apartmentcast - NAA's Eviction Moratorium Lawsuit Update
During the past few years, NAA has diligently worked to recover damages that housing providers suffered under the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) protracted eviction moratorium, which financially damaged rental housing owners and violated rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
On August 7, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decided 2-1 that the case move can move forward against the federal government.
On this episode of the NAA Apartmentcast, the official podcast of the National Apartment Association, we talk with John McDermott, retired NAA General Counsel, who offers an update on the legal action taken against the unconstitutional government overreach of the CDC's eviction moratorium and walks through the legal framework underpinning the case.
Although NAA's efforts have proven successful with this recent appeals court decision, there is still an opportunity for property owners to join the lawsuit and recover business losses attributed to the unlawful CDC eviction moratorium. There is a five-year statute of limitations for possible plaintiffs to bring their claim and this lawsuit is open to all rental housing owners operating in a state or locality under the federal moratorium.
