A recent article by the AP says a Texas landlord is among more than 1,500 property owners suing the federal government over the CDC’s pandemic-era eviction moratorium, claiming it violated the Fifth Amendment by denying compensation for lost rental income. The landlord (Matthew Haines) says the nearly yearlong ban on evictions cost him and his investors more than $1 million. The plaintiffs, whose losses range from thousands to over $14.5 million, initially lost their case in 2022 but later won on appeal and are now negotiating with the Justice Department. Landlords hope to recover up to $1.5 billion, arguing the CDC unfairly interfered with their property rights and business operations during the pandemic.
