LOS ANGELES—Several landlords claim in sworn declarations they have lost thousands of dollars through delinquent rent payments and inflation because of Los Angeles County’s eviction moratorium and will continue to do so if an extension of the measure goes into effect as scheduled next month.
The extended eviction restrictions, approved by the Board of Supervisors in January, provides continued—although modified—protections for failure to pay rent. The Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles and the Apartment Owners Association of California brought a lawsuit March 7 against Los Angeles County, asking that preliminary and permanent injunctions be issued preventing enforcement of the renewed eviction ban as unconstitutional.
