Abstract

The article discusses the US Supreme Court's decision to decline hearing a case regarding Los Angeles' eviction ban during the Covid-19 pandemic, which luxury apartment owners argued violated their constitutional rights. The property owners sought over $20 million in compensation for unpaid rents due to the ordinance, which was in effect from 2020 to 2024. A federal district judge dismissed the lawsuit, and the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld this dismissal, stating that the takings clause does not apply to laws that merely adjust landlord-tenant relationships. The case, GHP Management v. Los Angeles, involved a management company and 13 corporations that collectively own or manage nearly 5,000 rental units. [Extracted from the article]
