Landlords Don’t Want the D.C. Council to Extend Its Blanket Eviction Moratorium

Date Released: 
Thu, 09/17/2020

Landlords are fighting a legal battle against D.C.'s ban on eviction filings. A judge will eventually decide whether the moratorium violates their constitutional rights.

D.C. has the strongest tenant protections related to evictions in the region, surpassing even the federal eviction ban, but some local landlords are trying to get lawmakers to water them down.
