Nov 16, 2020 7:56 PM EST MONROE, La. — Louisiana landlords have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn a moratorium on evictions ordered by the CDC to avoid spreading the novel coronavirus.
The suit says that “the CDC’s eviction moratorium represents a sweeping assumption of power by an administrative agency that it simply does not possess.”
Figures provided by the Seattle-based Housing Justice Project says landlords in Georgia, Ohio and Tennessee have filed similar lawsuits against the CDC moratorium. Those in 13 other states and the District of Columbia are trying to overturn state or city eviction moratoriums.
The CDC’s Sept. 1 order came about three weeks after President Donald Trump issued an executive order telling federal health officials to consider measures to temporarily halt evictions.

Safe Harboring during the pandemic
These will all end very soon anyway. COVID is cured, thanks to King Joe and KamelToe.
I am a landlord. The problem with non paying tenants is usually drug related. The longer they remain the more horrific the damage. I had one where the power got cut off for non payment. That meant no water. They dedicated one bedroom as the toilet. I had to clean every bit of it myself as none of the people I usually use would even walk in the front door.
I have 1 non-paying tenant for 4 months. I solved that problem by not offering a new lease since it was coming due. Gave no details. No need to.
I have 1 Chicago transplant trying to game the Arizona gov’t for rental re-imbursement, claiming she has been sick with COVID for 4 months. I didn’t re-new her lease.
As I have known, the government does not have the right to invalidate a valid, legal contract, before or after the contract is executed.
It does not have the right to force someone to provide a service or to turn over property, even for compensation, and certainly not when there is no compensation.
But but it is patriotic to go broke while the elite make millions.

I'm sure the U.S. Constitution provides for unelected bureaucrats forcing landlords go bankrupt and give free housing during times of disease.
Gotta be in there somewhere.
I think landlords are taking it worse than most anyone during this pandemic crud.
The eviction mandates make landlords into slaves to the renters. That aspect alone should be enough to overturn such mandates.
Amen to that.
we got trapped with these laws briefly in RED EAST TX...but the kicker was we went over there and hung out on the property when tenant was not expecting such a strategy from us. We had written into the lease FULL LANDLORD ACCESS (as we were remodeling the house)...he left after about 3 hours.
Oh those pesky penumbras.

That's pretty much what the government did with GM during the bailout. So sit down peasant and listen to those who know best. >/sarcasm
