Apartment owners are suing the City of Los Angeles for keeping in place its emergency ban on rent increases first implemented at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a lawsuit filed on July 24 in Los Angeles Superior Court, the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles is asking the court to put a stop to the city’s ongoing rent freeze on grounds that it violates the U.S. and California constitutions and deprives landlords of due process.
