The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by more than a dozen landlords, including billionaire developer Geoffrey Palmer, challenging Los Angeles' eviction moratorium enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The landlords sought to recover $100 million, arguing that the moratorium violated their constitutional rights by barring evictions. The Court's refusal to review the petition leaves the moratorium intact and upholds the city's authority to impose eviction restrictions during the public health crisis. The decision was reached by a split Court and effectively ends the legal challenge against the COVID-era eviction protections in Los Angeles.
