Many owner’s of rental property were impacted in the summer of 2020, by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) emergency COVID regulations imposing an eviction moratorium on landlords. The National Apartment Association (NAA) has been fighting this moratorium and has recently obtained a successful court opinion that will allow landlords to move to financial recovery absent an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
What does this mean for you? If you are a landlord who was affected by the CDC eviction moratorium, you may be eligible to receive compensation for damages.
Any rental property owner who was damaged by the CDC eviction moratorium can join the case. If you are interested in joining the lawsuit, you can sign up here: https://cdcevictionlawsuit.com/#Lawsuit.
What will it cost me: Pursuant to the CDC Eviction lawsuit website, there is an initial cost deposit of $1,000 for each plaintiff that will be used toward any general litigation expenses (filing fees, expert witnesses, etc.). Additional costs may be assessed on a pro-rata basis. After the lawsuit, any unspent funds will be returned, again on a pro-rata basis. Any recovery received as a result of the lawsuit will be reduced by a 20% contingency fee paid to the attorneys.
