Group of landlords asks Supreme Court to end CDC moratorium on evicting tenants

FILE - In this Sept. 22, 2020, file photo buildings at Hunter Oaks Apartments undergo renovations in Memphis, Tenn. Owners of the apartment complex are among seven landlords who manage or own more than 5,000 rental units and have filed a lawsuit claiming that a national eviction moratorium has not only placed them under unfair financial strain, but also infringed on their rights as property owners. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention federal eviction moratorium initially put in place last year, provides protection for renters out of concern that having families lose their homes and move into shelters or share crowded conditions with relatives or friends during the pandemic would further spread the highly contagious virus.
