LOS ANGELES—Two apartment owner groups filed court papers on March 7 challenging Los Angeles County’s pandemic-related eviction moratorium, which provides extended protections beginning next month for tenants who fail to pay rent.
The Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles and the Apartment Owners Association of California brought the still unofficial legal action in Los Angeles Superior Court, asking that preliminary and permanent injunctions be issued to prevent enforcement of the renewed eviction ban as unconstitutional.
