MONROE, La. (AP) — Louisiana landlords have filed a federal lawsuit trying to overturn a moratorium on some rental evictions ordered by the CDC because of the coronavirus pandemic. Landlords in Georgia, Ohio and Tennessee have filed similar lawsuits, and those in 13 other states and the District of Columbia are trying to overturn state or city moratoriums. The Pacific Legal Foundation says the Louisiana lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal district court in Monroe, where a company that manages hundreds of rental units in several northeast Louisiana cities is located. The statewide Apartment Association of Louisiana is also a plaintiff.
