LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Apartment Owners Association of California, Inc. (AOA) and the Apartment Association of Greater Los Angeles (AAGLA) jointly announced today that they have been granted a preliminary injunction they had been seeking to prevent enforcement of Los Angeles County’s broad-based moratorium on residential tenant evictions. In the United States District Court judge’s order granting the landlord group’s motion for preliminary injunction, multiple violations of the “Vagueness Doctrine” and the complete lack of specific standards for how to apply various provisions contained within the County’s eviction moratorium are cited. The District Court judge’s order concludes that “Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits of their claim that the Resolution’s Tenant Protections are unconstitutionally vague.”
The District Court has given Los Angeles County until December 1st to modify the eviction moratorium, and to give owners and tenants a chance to adjust, at which time it will no longer be able to enforce its eviction moratorium ordinance. According to the Order: “Effective December 1, 2022, the County is hereby enjoined from enforcing the Tenant Protections…”
In March 2022, AOA and AAGLA had filed a joint lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court for the State of California on behalf of their members and the County’s rental housing providers seeking, among other relief, an Injunction against the enforcement of the County of Los Angeles’s residential eviction moratorium. Los Angeles County’s so-called, “temporary” eviction moratorium has remained in place nearly three years, and is set to expire on December 31, 2022. The County’s COVID-19 eviction protections cover not only the County’s unincorporated areas, but also most of the incorporated cities within the County.
